There was an earlier report of this, but I never got enough information
to determine what caused it.

I don't think anyone opened a bug against it.

Possibly.  Or a kernel bug somewhere else besides jfs.

Could I have some more information?  The earlier report was with a file
system on top of RAID5 and nfs running on top of it.  It could be that
jfs isn't playing nicely with one or the other.  Was this an SMP
machine?

Please let me know if you do see it again.
