Ok, that's good. Good to know the workaround works.
Can you send me a dumpe2fs of the filesystem in question? I'm curious
what was going on...
Will do as soon as I am at the same place as the machine. I guess thats only interesting to you privately (size and so on)?

Thanks for the report. I'll push the workaround patch to Linus for
2.6.29 to avoid this problem for now. I recently sent to linux-ext4
for comment a patch to revamp the Orlov allocator for flex_bg and to
use that instead of find_group_flex(), but no way that's going into
2.6.29 at this point....
Would it be helpfull if I test that patch?
