I need stability for this specific host, I cannot run netconsole due to restrictions etc/will switch to ext4 since, if it recurs again, all I/O to the disk stops and I will not be able to assist in reporting the bug/giving the full output. If I could reproduce the bug in another environment, I would be able to troubleshoot the problem more.. This bug is very similar to the one I reported in the past (that host was an active NFS server): http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2009/10/19/118 Justin.
