I'll yank it and see if it makes a difference. pure == 2.5.68 kludge == 2.5.68+kludge in blkdev_put() % grep Dirt =noinitrd-* =noinitrd-kludge=:Dirty: 0 kB # before =noinitrd-kludge=:Dirty: 4 kB # after =noinitrd-pure=:Dirty: 0 kB # before =noinitrd-pure=:Dirty: 4 kB # after So it would appear to me that initrd is the common denominator among those of us reporting similar symptoms.
