Subject: Re: a problem about ext4.

But if I use ext3, this will not occur.
If I do not run "/bin/sync;/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches", this 
will not occur.
If I use kernel>=3.0, this will not occur.

If I use ext4 and run "/bin/sync; /bin/echo 1 > 
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches", these error messages will appear.

So is this is a bug?
