After some googling I found out that the root cause of the recent mount problems with extended partitions (maybe also mounting disks like sda) are related to the infinite loop kernel bug in __getblk_slow.
(see the explanation: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1189121/) The affected debian kernels should get fixed with the patch offered in kernel 3.2.24 (http://lwn.net/Articles/508225/). -------------------------- Michael Hofbauer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
