Hi, My dmesg output contains a lot of warning messages from reiserfs and I'm wondering if this is anything important: ReiserFS: dm-0: warning: clm-2100: nesting info a different FS I'm running Hardened Gentoo kernel 2.6.16-r11 on AMD64. I've got three reiserfs filesystems: one for root which is mounted directly from a RAID1 array (/dev/md/2), and two are LVM volumes from another RAID1 array (/dev/md/3); one of the latter has usrquota enabled. I'm not really sure which block device "dm-0" refers to. The computer is doing relatively little disk I/O most of the time. The comment in fs/reiserfs/journal.c says: /* we've ended up with a handle from a different filesystem. ** save it and restore on journal_end. This should never ** really happen... */ The "should never really happen" part made me wonder, is this anything I should be worried about? Over the last 92 days, my dmesg contains 123 errors like this; 90 of those appeared on 3rd of September, the rest are many days apart; there doesn't appear to be any correlation with any messages in other log files. They appear to come in bursts of spanning 0.4 or less milliseconds, and are sometimes followed by more bursts a few seconds later. There have been no apparent problems with the performance of the disks or system as a result. According to Google searches, earlier kernels exhibited this problem with quotas enabled, but that bug was fixed back in 2.6.14. And nothing significant appears to have changed in fs/reiserfs/journal.c from 2.6.16 till today.
