Hi. Last night I had a kernel oops in fsnotify (see attached). It happened when I clicked a hyperlink to a text file in Firefox (which normally opens an open-with/save-file dialog). I've not found a way to reproduce. The system runs kernel 3.5.2 with ext3. (note: kernel is patched with overlayfs-v13). Many thanks for your assistance. ~ Andy ==
