Error on fs unmount
Hi developers
Kernel 2.4.8 produces the following message on almost every shutdown:
Unmounting filesystems: Trying to _clear_inode of system file 9! Shouldn't happen.
This did not occur in 2.4.6 and prior.
Is this an issue?
Please CC to me since I am not on the list.
Bye, Peter.

Please tell us what filesystem you are using?
Assuming ext2, please run "e2fsck -f <device>" on the unmounted filesystem. However, since I've never seen this message before, and e2fsck would run automatically after such an error I doubt it is ext2 unless there were recent changes.
Cheers, Andreas

He is using NTFS. I recognize my error message. (-; [A little omission of mine results in not getting the string "NTFS: " printed at the beginning of the error message. )-: Fixed in my tree and will be in next patch release.]
Peter,
Could you tell me whether on startup (or whenever you mount the NTFS volume) it doesn't give a message but saying: "Trying to open system file 9!" or "Opening system file 9!".
If you only get the _clear_inode message that would be bad, but if you get a corresponding "Trying to open..." message, then just ignore them for the moment. - This is part of stage one of a cleanup in ntfs system file handling and this is just a message telling you someone is trying to close a system file which hasn't been opened yet, which should indeed never happen. - This will disappear with my next update to ntfs which completes the system file cleanup stuff.
If you only get the _clear_inode message this is very bad and I would like to know more... but I suspect you will find the matching message.
Best regards,
Anton

You were right. I found the message you mentioned several times in /var/log/messages:
Aug 17 08:16:50 localhost kernel: Trying to open system file 9!
Thanks a lot for your quick and helpful response.
Bye, Peter.

Excellent. That is exactly what I expected to see, so all is fine. Just ignore for now.
