I got this error in my log reports this morning, from the machine I use
as my firewall. This is the first time it has occurred, but the machine
is running a very new kernel:
Linux fendrian.rimspace.net 2.6.0-test11-fendrian #1 Wed Dec 10 22:25:59 EST
2003 i486 GNU/Linux
The kernel was up to date as per the CVS repository at that point. This
was just before the CDROM_SEND_PACKET IOCTL fix went in.
There is a single ext3 partition on the machine, and it generally
doesn't do very much at all, especially not disk intensive stuff.
Please let me know if I can provide any more assistance in finding the
source of the problem, or resolving it.
