Ext3 users - Jun 2005 - Assertion failure in do_get_write_access()

Hi,

I just had my server cry this out to the console:

Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() at transaction.c:658:

The version of Linux is 2.4.28. It took a hardware reset to get
/dev/sda2 (the partition with the fs I suspect was aching) back online. At
the time of the error I was tarring jpegs to that partition.

I could not find any references to this sort of bug being encountered or
fixed after 2.4.28, so I felt obliged to report it.


Is it a known bug? If so, has it been fixed? If not, can it be fixed & do
you need my help or any other info?


Regards,
Yuri

is it reproducible? does it happpen with later/earlier kernels too?
was the fs corrupted after this? if yes, did fsck fix it?
