start_transaction: Readonly filesystem error
...problems when it is performed because the file system is now
remounted read-only. I've done an lsof in that window and seen an open
deleted (special) file so I suspect the bug is in the remount to r/o being
permitted while the open deleted file is still in use, rather than ext3.
It looks like fs_may_remount_ro() tries to catch open deleted files but
is not noticing this case, for some reason.
Does this sound like any known bug to anyone?
