Ext3 users - Mar 2002 - EXT3-fs error (device md(9,1)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28

Hi,

Subject line says it all.  When one of the linux.org.uk machines got
rebooted, it performed a full fs check of the main 160GB ext3
partition claiming it contained errors.  During the check it found:

Deleted inode 142279 has zero dtime.  FIXED.

The kernel message log contained lots of:

EXT3-fs error (device md(9,1)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28

We had used up all the available inodes.  Since the above message is
generated from __ext3_std_error, it marks the filesystem bad.  This
doesn't sound like proper behaviour.

Kernel: Red Hat 2.4.9-21

Right.  Fixed in ext3 cvs ...

... and in the rawhide kernel.
