I am running a heavily patched 2.5.59 kernel (rmk + ported PXA + specific architecture patches) with potentially broken hardware (PXA250 B1 stepping) so it is possible that other parts of the system are guilty. But because the problem disappears with recent CVS version of JFFS2 it is probably caused by it. Since it is fixed in CVS I do not know if it is worth to trace it further; when you give me patches adding additional debugging checks I can try to get the necessary information. > Can you reproduce this? Yes; 100% when doing a 'touch foobar' on the original 2.5.59 kernel (JFFS2 is not touched by my patches). Thanks for your explainations Enrico
