I'm a bit puzzled since I don't actually see any error messages (just the backtrace), and I'm not able to find any ill effects except for the traceback, but I guess it still shouldn't happen. FWIW, the ext4 is on an LVM whose one of the component RAID-5s was resyncing at the time. I don't know if that is relevant or not. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
