------- Comment #3 from tytso@mit.edu 2009-01-27 11:08 -------
Having ext4 handling this gracefully is already in mainline. See commit:
2a21e37e4: ext4: tone down ext4_da_writepages warnings
ext4: tone down ext4_da_writepages warnings
If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot*
of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps. While it's true
that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the
stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original
root cause of the problem. So in the case where the filesystem has
aborted, return an EROFS right away.

It is in 2.6.29-rc1 and I plan to send it for the 2.6.28.y release, just
because it is *so* annoying.
