...both of these routines do ilookup() { inode = iget(sb, ino) if (inode->i_nlink==0) iput(inode); .... } We find that this oopses if the file is recently deleted: echo foo > file rm file "ilookup file" oopses. We suspect that iget gets the inode _without_ hitting ext3_read_inode, ie. it is still in the hash lists. What happens is what we re-enter the ext3_delete_inode path, and something goes wrong when it hits the ext3_orphan_del routine. I think that something is awry, because I would have hoped that after the unlink has run, the inode would not go through another roun...

Hi, I'm using ext3 filesystems in embedded devices (storage is on 512Mb or 1Gb CF cards). A typical development cycle would see the filesystem created on the desktop PC running linux 2.4 (eg. RedHat 9). The CF card would be installed in the hardware and linux 2.4 (eg. Montavista Pro 3.1, on PPC) would boot from the CF. Recently I tried a linux 2.6 desktop (CentOS) for the same task and
