... kernel: VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer
... last message repeated 6 times
appeared in the logs and the badblocks process get stuck in __wait_on_buffer
WCHAN (unkillable, of course, so the load is always >= 1). Beside that, the
system looks fine.
That could be the result of the disk flakyness, but no disk error message
appeared in the logs. Could it be a buffer cache/page cache problem 'cause the
partition was used for swap previously ?
Other minor problems I get from time to time are :
- closing apps in xterm (say, closing xhifs), sometimes produces
... kernel: Warning: dev (04:c2) tty->count(1) != #fd's(2) in do_tty_hang
This one has already been reported I think, but it's still not uncommon (I had
to try only 4 times to reproduce it).
- under heavy load,
... kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 16:03): ext2_read_inode: bad inode number: 0
already happened 3 times. It looks harmless too, but the filesystem is marked
erroneous and checked during next boot. It did not show under final .34 yet,
but I guess it's a matter of time.
Again, nothing I can't live with, but worth reporting to make 2.0.x kernels
even more bugfree.
