Ext3 users - Jul 2002 - kernel: Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() ...

I noticed in the archives that there were patches for this
problem, but I've yet to find the patches. Has this been fixed in any of
the released kernel RPMs from Redhat? Right now this system is running
Redhat 7.2. When I can get a maintenance window I'm going to upgrade to
7.3 and I'm hoping there is a standard kernel available that fixes these
problems.

kernel: Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() at transaction.c:612:
"!(((jh2bh(jh))->b_state & (1UL << BH_Lock)) != 0)"

	As many other people have mentioned, I get this while doing a
du(1) on a certain ext3 partition. This particular device that I'm having
problems with is an LVM volume. The server is an SMB/AFP/NFS file server,
and was serving files during the du.

	TIA,

	Ryan

Have you upgraded the kernel at all?  If not, it's probably one of the
bugs that was fixed months and months ago, and just updating to the
current 7.2 kernel (or any 7.3 kernel) should fix it.
