I have several CentOS5 hosts in a VMware ESX 3.5.0 226117 environment using iSCSI storage. Recently we've begun to experience journal aborts resulting in remounted-read-only filesystems as well as other filesystem issues - I can unmount a filesystem and force a check with "fsck -f" and occasionally find errors. I've found - <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228108> <http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=51306> - which seem related but I believe I am running a kernel that contains these fixes. My kernel is 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 on one of the most effected hosts. Does anyone else have experience with similar issues or know of the status of this Bug/KB? I can install, boot, run, and then at some seemingly random moment - init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (50632) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (137147) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (172036) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (175720) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (72350) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (174751) EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 19698169 in dir #19696695 Aborting journal on device sdb2. init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (165661) EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 19698131 in dir #19696695 init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (76763) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (3116) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (75363) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (77034) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (132237) EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 19698139 in dir #19696695 init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (53031) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (33361) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (77546) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (6516) EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 19698143 in dir #19696695 init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (6442) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (72554) EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 19698142 in dir #19696695 EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 19698164 in dir #19696695 init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (73171) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (154432) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (34302) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (131733) init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (30773) ext3_abort called.
