Hello list, my machine oopses in the umount script at shutdown once every few weeks (at 1-2 shutdowns / day). Two times this resulted in repairable errors on an EXT3 filesystem during the next bootup.
This is on an i386 (actually AMD K6-II) machine with a single IDE disk. The mounted filesystems are EXT3 and VFAT. I don't use LVM, cryptoloop, or other fancy stuff. The kernel is a self-compiled kernel.org 2.4.28 with no extra patches; I think the problem did also occur with at least 2.4.27 and 2.4.26. Attached is the output of ver_linux and ksymoops. (I had to copy the oops by hand. I tried to be careful, but may have made errors.) More data (dmesg, etc) can be found at <http://fs.math.uni-frankfurt.de/~brill/oops-20050119/> and I can produce anything else on request. According to ksymoops, EIP points to an address in fs/buffer.c::__remove_inode_queue(). Could somebody please have a look at the oops or point me to the right person? (I couldn't find a suitable entry in the MAINTAINERS file.) Please CC me on list replies. Thanks, Bjoern Brill -- Bj"orn Brill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Frankfurt am Main, Germany
