Yours is the third report of this - it's definitely a bug in ext3. I still need to work out how you managed to get a page attached to the inode which has not had its buffers fed through journal_dirty_data(). There seem to be several ways in which this can happen. Is it possible that you ran out of disk space on the relevant partition shortly before it died? -
