Under 2.5.x I seem to be getting a lot of fs errors on fsck, mainly dealing with bad inode counts in groups. Just now though, I had /var remounted read-only due to the following:

t_transaction: Journal has aborted
EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,9)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,9)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,9)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted
...
EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,9)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,9)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,9)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted

And again, on reboot into single user mode and a full fsck bad inode count errors were present. There were no errors detected whilst testing the disk with -c.

Under 2.4.x my filesystems never showed errors.

I'd provide more info but this is all that I have. If you need more then you'll need to tell me what to do to get it. :)

Thanks.

There was a problem in 2.5.46 which mucked up these counters. On disk.

2.5.47 fixed that bug, and now you have fixed the on-disk mess which 2.5.46 created, all should be well.

Sweet. Thanks. :)
