See commit: 2a21e37e4: ext4: tone down ext4_da_writepages warnings ext4: tone down ext4_da_writepages warnings If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot* of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps. While it's true that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original root cause of the problem. So in the case where the filesystem has aborted, return an EROFS right away. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@xxxxxxx> It is in 2.6.29-rc1 and I plan to send it for the 2.6.28.y release, just because it is *so* annoying. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- 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
