           Summary: JBD: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = dm-2,
                    blocknr = 2512725). There's a risk of filesystem
                    corruption in case of system crash.

        Regression: Yes


I was just updating some packages in 32-bit Debian unstable, under highload on
my Thinkpad T43 (uniprocessor pentium-m). And spoted this thing in log:

[79324.133130] JBD: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = dm-2, blocknr =
2512725). There's a risk of filesystem corruption in case of system crash.

dm-2 is block device (on LVM on luksCrypt) with /usr on ext4, with
journal=data.

I never ever seen such thing.

Kenrel config attached.

I found two separate bug in Red Hat bugzilla which are similar, and occurs when
usrquota is used, and some quota releated configuration is changed. I have
hovewer no quota here (it is just laptop) enabled, configured, or even
supported by my custom kernel.

Any ideas?


exact kernel version 3.0.0-rc7-t43-prod-00159-ge6625fa-dirty

(dirty only because -march=pentium-m added to the build). gcc 4.6.1-4 used.
32bit i386.

--- Comment #1 from Witold Baryluk <baryluk@smp.if.uj.edu.pl>  2011-07-25 03:51:59 ---
May it be because of bugs in dcache in rc7? If so, then it should not be issue
in 3.0. I also do not seen this again in later rc7, and 3.0 or after that. It
was single event.

But it may by also some rare event I accidentally triggered. No data was lost,
as I safely rebooted system without problem.

Is this still a problem in v3.2 / v3.3-rc1 ?
