That indicates a panic, but we'd need a lot more info, which you probably can't gather at this time. Getting panics visible when you're in X is tricky, netconsole or serial console or similar may be needed. So you paniced, but we have no idea why, unfortunately. > linux-image-2.6.28-9-generic (Ubuntu+potential fix patch), second try: Computer > is normal, no errors in dmesg about EXT4, download is successful. well, that sounds good ;) > The failure on first try is a new behavior I have not seen before with this > machine. I therefore am reporting inconclusively that the patch works for me. Ok, thanks for the testing.. It's headed upstream in any case, I think, as it seems pretty well correct from inspection and review. Oh, re: the stat of that inode, for a 10G file that's a metric ton of extents... you should encourage whichever torrent client this is to use the preallocation routines now available (fallocate(2)) - a syscall now, exposed by glibc soon. the file has 600+ extent tree *nodes* each of which holds an extent... you have nearly 105000 extents. That's ... impressive ... :) -- 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.
