Subject: Buffer I/O error on device hde3, logical block 4429

I am running 2.6.0-test2-mm1, and upon boot have received a gift of many
"Buffer I/O error on device hde3" messages in my log. After they quit,
they never seem to come back.

I'd just like to know what might cause this? I see fs/buffer.c is
telling me this, but I don't know what is failing.

One thing of note, I just upgraded my CPU from an Athlon XP 1800+ to a
2400+, and had to disable IO-APIC, and shut APIC off in my BIOS.

My hardware: http://www.enodev.com/info.html
(If I should include more info let me know)

It appears Mike Galbraith has seen something similar in -vanilla.

Does anyone have any interest at all in pursuing this? Hopefully? I'm
glad to try and be the pig of Guinea. Kill piggy!

hmm, I had the same errors yesterday and the culprit was a "data=writeback"
for a reiserfs partition. 2.6 don't know about data= for reiserfs.

Could it be your problem too?

Well, my fstab entry seems pretty default

/dev/hde3 /hdg/3 reiserfs defaults 1 2

Please just ignore them. They are noise arising from the new readahead
behaviour in the block layer.
