Back in Feb, we had a problem on a server and were getting __get_metapage:
mp->logical_size != size errors.
See "JFS bug" at http://oss.software.ibm.com/pipermail/jfs-discussion/2004-February/thread.html#1597
Today, on the SAME system:
Apr 27 10:43:53 rchs93hd kernel: ERROR: (device sd(8,17)): __get_metapage: mp->logical_size != size
Apr 27 10:43:53 rchs93hd kernel: ERROR: (device sd(8,17)): remounting filesystem as read-only

Initially we were able to fsck & remount. Then later:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount -o remount,rw /home
mount: /home not mounted already, or bad option
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext3 rw 0 0
/proc /proc proc rw 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/sda3 /tmp ext3 rw 0 0
/dev/sda5 /var ext3 rw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /home jfs ro 0 0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# umount /home
umount: /home: device is busy
So I rebooted the box.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qa | grep jfs
jfsutils-1.1.4-1
Running our own 2.4.24 kernel.
