Hi, Sorry no one responded, but while the Bugzilla system is great for tracking bugs, it's not a good place to call attention to a bug. In fact, I'm not sure that fs_ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx forwards anywhere sane (I'm checking up on that, though). In general it's a good idea by sending e-mail to either linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or (preferred) linux-ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From your description, the ext4 filesystem thought there was some kind of on-disk corruption or other problem with your filesystem, and remounted it read-only. That's consistent with your report of the messages in the syslog of: ext4_da_writepages: jbd2_start: 1024 pages, ino 40898; err -30 There should have been something in your logs *before* all of the err -30 complaints, however. Was this your root filesystem, or do you have this saved in logfile in /var/log? If so, can you search back for something that occurs before all of the ext4_da_writepages error messages? - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
