Description Christopher Beland 2007-02-11 05:17:39 UTC
Description of problem:

I get this message from the kernel a minute or two after I run "updatedb":

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6
glibc-2.5-10.fc6
mlocate-0.15-0.fc6.1

How reproducible:

Happens every time I run "updatedb"

Comment 1 Christopher Beland 2007-02-20 17:46:56 UTC
This is no longer occurring, after running fsck on the filesystem and repairing
a broken inode or two.  However, I am still experiencing occasional
filesystem-related oopses, which I am reporting separately.

Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2007-02-27 23:36:12 UTC
So there is probably some kind of bug in inotify when dealing with corrupted
filesystems.


Comment 3 Kam Leo 2007-03-18 02:07:42 UTC
I am experiencing kernel oops using FC-32 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6.

Comment 4 Kam Leo 2007-03-18 02:37:03 UTC
A "shutdown -F -r" did not find any filesystem problems. Kernel oops still
occurs after the reboot. FC6 is running as a VMWare Workstation 5.5.3 guest OS
(Windows 2000 host). Filesystem is LVM. Not experiencing this problem on a
stand-alone FC6 system which is using a single partition ext3.
