We did not test by disable journal. Our customer is usring default journal mode. Because journal is concern only if the system power off. If system is continously running and give readonly error, we thought it's nothing about journal. I am not very clear what about the issue "deleting on a deleted entry", seems not same as our issue. If you can more detail about it, it will be welcomed. :) > Yongqiang. > > On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 11:46 PM, qixuan wu wrote: >> Hi Tao, >> >> On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 9:58 PM, Tao Ma wrote: >>> Hi qixuan, >>> On 12/05/2012 12:16 AM, qixuan wu wrote: >>>> Hi Tao, all, >>>> >>>> I guess it's a memory(or ext3/kenrel) issue.
