Hi Jan, Sorry for the slow response; took a while for this to happen again. This time I'm keeping the machine sitting in kdb in case there is more information needed. <4>[19307.314449] ------------[ cut here ]------------ <4>[19307.319114] WARNING: at /srv/autobuild-ceph/gitbuilder.git/build/fs/jbd2/transaction.c:1237 jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata+0x1ba/0x260() <4>[19307.382324] CPU: 0 PID: 8877 Comm: ceph-osd Tainted: G W 3.10.0-ceph-00049-g68d04c9 #1 <4>[19307.391256] Hardware name: Dell Inc.

I don't have a nice self-contained reproducer or anything since this is is falling out of our integration tests. Hopefully there is enough here (or that can be gleaned from kdb) that it is clear what is going on. It's v3.10 (plus some unrelated patches).
