Yup, that'll be the assert fail that Darrick reported. Well spotted, Christoph! I've got to rework the error handling code anyway, so I might end up getting rid of ->li_error and hard coding these like I've done the iodone functions. That way the different objects can use different failure mechanisms until the dquot code is converted to the same "hold at dirty time" flushing mechanism...
