First the system rebooted itself a few seconds after writing an oops (spinlock bad magic) to syslog and subitting it to kerneloops. On the reboot, the syslog showed a normal (ie no error and no recovery) mount followed about 90s later by the error dump I posted. After this, I unmounted the filesystem and ran 'e2fsck /dev/sdb3' which just replayed the journal and said the fs was clean. I then ran 'e2fsck -f' which made several prompts for problems. -- 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
