I've fsck'ed it a number of times, because after the journal aborts the fs is remounted read-only but unclean. So I take the system down, run fsck, fsck works (and a subsequent e2fsck -nf is clean), and then I bring the system back up. On the chance that there is a lingering inconsistency in the filesystem I have rebuilt it from scratch twice (by making a new, empty ext3 fs on the device, and copying in all the files from a backup on another fs) and the problem persists. So I don't think the fs data itself is the problem. > > Can you find the version of 2.6.0-test where this started? This is a relatively new raid5 array -- I've been having this problem ever since I created the array, which was sometime after I switched to the 2.6.0-test series. So I'm not claiming there is (or isn't) a version of 2.6.0-test that works -- only that 2.6.0-test* and 2.6.0 are the only versions I've tried, and that's where I've seen the problem. -Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
