[sent this to ext2-devel but haven't seen any other traffic there, so
cc-ing it here]
[Last week] while configuring a new box I came across a site suggesting:
chattr -R -S +j +A /var/spool/postifx
to improve postfix's speed on ext3, in lieu of mounting a separate fs
there w/ data=journal.
So I tried it. Both on the new box (2.4.21-7um) and on my laptop
(about three csets shy of the v2.6.0-test6 tag).
Both bombed out in the journal.
My uml provider forwarded this from the uml console:
Assertion failure in journal_revoke() at revoke.c:329:
"!(__builtin_constant_p(BH_Revoked) ?
constant_test_bit((BH_Revoked),(&bh->b_state)) :
variable_test_bit((BH_Revoked),(&bh->b_state)))"
Kernel panic: kernel BUG at revoke.c:329!
I was able to use dmesg(1) to see the prink() the laptop generated
but was unable to copy it down. It did reference journal... and
var was remounted ro, so I presume it is a similar issue.
I thought the earlier issues with data != ordered were corrected?
Do known issues remain, or is this something new?
