http://www.sample.banga.lt/crash.gif System - fully (except kernel) updated RedHat 7.3. Filesystems - ext3 in default ordered mode. What could be the cause of the crash? Kernel update will solve the problem? Thanks, Mindaugas

Kernel update > will solve the problem?Yes, this was fixed in the first ever errata kernel for 7.3 over 18 months ago: see https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2002-085.html There was actually one other, very very small race that could lead to the same symptoms, and that was fixed in the next kernel after that. Current 7.3 errata kernels will not show this problem. Cheers, Stephen
Hi, I have a raid-5 machine which runs redhat advanced server 2.1(kernel 2.4.9-e.35) crashed today. It failed at fs/jbd/transaction.c: J_ASSERT(handle->h_buffer_credits > 0). It seems the buffer credits are used up in this cased. Here is the oops. Anyone know any patch I can apply? Thanks!
