Bug#315931: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7: Assertion failure in journal_dirty_data() at fs/jbd/transaction.c:986

[David N. Welton]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: important

Hi,

I have been experiencing random lockups on a server of mine, located at a
hosting company.  I finally got ahold of an error message that may be
connected with the lockup:

Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Sat Jun 25 01:55:48 2005 ...
hecl kernel: Assertion failure in journal_dirty_data() at
fs/jbd/transaction.c:986: "jh->b_transaction ==
journal->j_committing_transaction"

and the machine has nothing else in syslog at that point until the reboot.

I don't see anything of significance before that message either.

I'm reporting this as a bug, but - could it be a hardware problem, with the
disk, for instance?  Any suggestions would be most appreciated, as random
hangs on a server that is supposed to be up 24/7 are *most* annoying:-(

Thankyou for your time and assistance,
Dave
