Subject: 2.6.35-rc6 REGRESSION: Dirtiable inode bdi default != sb bdi ext2/ext3/ext4
Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2010 17:35:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1P1nGk-00023P-3d@tytso-glaptop> (raw)


I'm not sure this is related to:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19062

(2.6.35-rc6 REGRESSION: Dirtiable inode bdi default != sb bdi btrfs)

or not, but this is a problem that did not exist in 2.6.36-rc3 and
showed up when I tried going to 2.6.36-rc6.

The symptoms are that if I mount a filesystem, whether it be ext2, ext3,
or ext4, modify it slightly (say, create a file or a directory), then
umount the filesystem, and run "e2fsck -f" on that filesystem, I get the
warning:

This is rather blatent and obvious, so I'm wondering how this got
missed?
