They didn't appear with ext3. Some more data points: o 2.5.70 fails as well. o ext2 on 2.5.70, too. o Above errors are definitely critical. 8-( o It seems as if the kernel assumes that a file is a directory. (At least after running 2.5.70/ext2 for a while, e2fsck had some problems regenerating a proper file system structure and marked a few files as directories.) o Vanilla 2.4.20 is rock solid on the same hardware (no more file system corruption after downgrade). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
