Subject: ext3 data=journal hangs

Hi,

(2.6.20-rc4, x86_64 1-proc on SMP kernel, 1 GB RAM)

I'm running fsx-linux (akpm ext3-tools version) on an ext3 fs
with data=journal and fs blocksize=2048.  I've been trying to
get some kind of kernel messages from it but I can't get any
debug IO done successfully.

It has hung on me 3 times in a row today.  I'm using this command:
fsx-linux -l 100M -N 50000 -S 0 fsxtestfile

This is run in a new partition on a IDE drive (/dev/hda7,
using legacy IDE drivers).

Any suggestions for debug output?  I can see SysRq output on-screen
(sometimes) but it doesn't make it to my serial console.

Any patches to test?  :)

Thanks,
---
