Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-15
Severity: important


Hi,

here is how to reproduce this bug:

1. set up quotas on an ext4 filesystem
2. use edquota to change the quotas of some user

Actual result: the kernel outputs this scary message:

[  399.792052] JBD: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = sdb1, blocknr =
34816). There's a risk of filesystem corruption in case of system crash.

Expected result: 
 - no scary message
 - no filesystem corruption
 - changed quotas

A patch has been proposed here:

Closing. This is fixed in Wheezy and we won't backport it to oldstable any more.

Cheers,
