Sorry, I do not have latest kernel. Can someone confirm this on latest?
At least bugtracker does not know about it, and to my understanding of
source, should be still here.


dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=64 of=test
mkfs.ext4 -F test
echo -n " " | dd of=test bs=1 count=1 seek=297195 conv=notrunc
mount -o loop test /mnt/test
dmesg -c

On ubuntu natty with latest kernel, it seems, that
fs/ext4/super.c:__save_error_info calls mod_timer before timer->function
is set at end of fs/ext4/super.c:ext4_fill_super via
  sbi->s_err_report.function = print_daily_error_info;

This causes BUG_ON(!timer->function) in kernel/timer.c:__mod_timer
Device is stuck, not usable any more.

Thanks

This problem is fixed in 2.6.39 (via commit 0449641130f5, which landed
in mainline in 2.6.39-rc3).
