It is this "init" process, apparently. I have had the same problem with recent 
2.6.* kernels. Meanwhile, I have changed the umountfs script to use an -l 
"lazy" umount. This get's rid of the error messages. The offended filesystem 
was fine until the last two kernel upgrades. Now, it recovers the journal 
(ext3) on startup but all is then clean.
