System SuSE 8.0 - 2.4.18
Over several months I have not encounterd any problems with my resiserfs
partitions - until today.
On running a program which creates a file (circa 70 MB) by appending 4096
byte blocks to the files (but makes frequent random 4096 byte reads to the
file as it grows), I get the report :
"journal-712; buffer write failed"
But not every time I run the program (circa 1 in 3). i.e. 5 crashes this
morning.
I ran
% /sbin/badblocks -b 4096 /dev/hdb5
which didn't find any.
So I tried
% reiserfsck --rebuild-tree --logfile check.log /dev/hdb5
... and up to now my problem has disappeared.
Is this a bug?
