hi,

today i re-organized my data, lots of "mv" and "cp".
then, upon unmounting a ext3 partition the following was shown on the
console:

- -------------------------------

the filesystem here was existing for a year now, passed regular checks
and did not show any corruptions. it has never shown anything similar in
the logs and i was not able to reproduce it. i have to add, that i did
something strange before unmounting. the partition was mounted under
"/data", but "umount /data" failed (busy). "lsof" has shown some files
locked by the apache webserver marked "deleted". it was true, i mv'ed
files to another place, apache was still running and apparently locking
files. i then killed the apache process, no locked files any more, so i
was able to "umount /data" --> then the error shown above happened.
after the error i was not able to "/bin/sync" nor to SYSRQ+S, i had to
reboot.

probably not a bug, but i found it worth to report.

this all happend with a vanilla 2.6.4 (not tainted), compiled with
gcc-3.3.3 on i386 (Pentium3), IBM-ESXS disks.

Thanks,
Christian.
