Don't think so. Well, Arjan's commit, efaee192: "async: make the final inode deletion an asynchronous event", does change how inodes get deleted, and this looks like a race where an inode is getting deleted during the umount. So I would try reverting commit efaee192 and see if it fixes things before starting a full bisect... - 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
