With the 2.5.38 kernel (preempt enabled), I am getting these errors when I try to fill up a loop-mounted ext3 or ext2 partition. The want number starts at 100002, and keeps going up and up and up by 2. loop(7,2): rw=1, want=100316, limit=100000 attempt to access beyond end of device loop(7,2): rw=1, want=100318, limit=100000 attempt to access beyond end of device I can reproduce this with this script: touch /tmp/foo mke2fs -j -F /tmp/foo 10000 mkdir /mnt/tmp mount -o loop /tmp/foo /mnt/tmp cd /mnt/tmp dd if=/dev/urandom of=blah As the partition fills up, I start getting the above message.
