Like this it's not possible to guess it's a "time" value, and hence that it's an *old* error. I thought it was a pointer to something, and so I thought the error was happening now, or more likely (since it was triggered after 300 seconds) that it was some inconsistency in the filesystem being detected now, in some kind of lazy check. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
