They include the following: journal.o "( ret != 0 )". I see in the source code that there is an assertion: J_ASSERT(ret != 0) in the function: unsigned long journal_bmap(journal_t *journal, unsigned long blocknr) Which looks like a possible place for the origin of this. There is also a large amount of Hex data, which I do not have, unless logged somewhere on my system unknown to me. (I don't get many Panics, not sure where panic data is logged...) On reboot I loose files. Although nothing serious yet. The system is a POP3 server, handling about 1,000 email files and about 10,000 email's a day, so there is constantly great disk load by sendmail and the default redhat POP3. Should I upgrade my kernel, or may I be doing something specific to cause this? Thanks with any help, Ben Clewett.
