Ext3 users - Dec 2001 - kernel: invalidate: busy buffer

Hi!

We're using 2.4.15-pre5 on our Postfix mailserver. 

/etc/fstab:
LABEL=/var              /var            auto    data=journal 1 2
LABEL=/home             /home           auto    exec,dev,nosuid,rw         1 2

Recently, we got the following entries in our /var/log/messages:

Dec  1 00:42:05 postamt1 kernel: invalidate: busy buffer
Dec  1 00:42:05 postamt1 last message repeated 329 times
Dec  1 00:45:45 postamt1 kernel: invalidate: busy buffer
Dec  1 00:49:37 postamt1 last message repeated 105 times
Dec  1 00:49:37 postamt1 last message repeated 230 times
Dec  1 00:53:46 postamt1 kernel: invalidate: busy buffer
Dec  1 00:53:46 postamt1 last message repeated 230 times

Are these messages ext3 related?

Real programmers never work 9 to 5. If any real programmers are around
at 9 am, it's because they were up all night.

this was discussed a couple of times, look in the archives
