Bug Description
Distro is Ubuntu Server 8.10, running kernel image is 2.6.27-9-server smp on x86_64.
(Installed a couple months ago, never updated since the box does not have internet access per default.)
On one box with particularly heavy database I/O, we're seeing this in the system log:
==================
[1099257.456522] EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_
[1099257.495979] EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_
[1099257.505934] EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_
==================
... ad infinitum.
Sounds a lot like a problem reported against 2.6.23, see:

I couldn't locate if/when the discussed new-extent-
Here's dumpe2fs for the filesystem:

Has the bugfix in the above email been applied to the Ubuntu Server kernel images? If not, then that's probably the bottom of this issue. *hope* ;-).

Saw this on the ext4 list, as it was pointed out the Ubuntu was being "unresponsive" on the bug after only two days without any importance set. Linked with the upstream bug and will work it there.
