Hi Stephen, it's me again with a problem report about quotas and ext3... I'm not quite sure whether you tried to resolve the quota problems yet, but since I read in the changelog of 0.0.5e that you included some quota specific fixes I decided to give a try (again). And once again: Bad news. Still lockups, reliable reproducible. But this time I have a little backtrace for you of two kjournald's, one in normal idle state and the other one locked up. Hope it helps you a bit. If I can run any tests to debug this problem better please let me know. If-on the other hand-this is a known issue just tell me and I will keep quiet for the next couple releases :-) Greetings, Juri Test was with kernel 2.2.19pre9 + ext3-0.0.5e UP "normal" kjournald: kdb> btp 2024 EBP EIP Function(args) 0xc67bbfb0 0xc0111f23 schedule+0x157( 0xc7a8d81c, 0xc7a8d7e0) 0xc67bbfc8 0xc01122b2 interruptible_sleep_on+0x36( ) 0xc67bbfec 0xc0154ec0 kjournald+0x11c( 0xc7a8d7e0, 0xc7a8d7e0, 0xc7a8d7e0, 0x0, 0x0) 0xc15a7e24 0xc010923f kernel_thread+0x23) 0xc01d8175 0x0 kernel_thread+0x3fef6de4) 0x8b9019eb 0x39480842 kernel_thread "locked up" kjournald: kdb> btb 1935 EBP EIP Function(args) 0xc1b9be74 0xc0111f23 schedule+0x157( 0xc7a8d708, 0xc7a8d6c0) 0xc1b9be8c 0xc0112372 sleep_on+0x36( 0xc24781e0, 0xc1801ba0, 0xc172faa0, 0xc172fb20, 0xc172f720) 0xc1b9bfc4 0xc015834f journal_commit_transaction+0x173( 0xc7a8d6c0) 0xc1b9bfec 0xc0154ea7 kjournald+0x103( 0xc7a8d6c0, 0xc7a8d6c0, 0xc7a8d6c0, 0x655a7131, 0x66314175) 0xc6d77e24 0xc010923f kernel_thread+0x23) 0xc01a7e90 0xc0e16260 kernel_thread+0xd0d044) 0xf68914eb 0x24512068 kernel_threadkdb: Bad kernel address 0xf68914eb +0x64408e4c) 0x0 0x0 kernel_thread kdb> -- juri.haberland@innominate.com system engineer innominate AG clustering & security the linux architects tel: +49-30-308806-45 fax: -77 http://www.innominate.com
