I believe a command sequence like this can be used to reliably reproduce the issue:
umount /mnt truncate -s128m /tmp/test.img cmd="/sbin/mkfs.ext3 -E stride=128,stripe_width=512 -F /tmp/test.img" echo $cmd > /dev/kmsg $cmd mount -o loop /tmp/test.img /mnt/ while dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/$RANDOM bs=1M count=1; do true; done
I do not see any failures when ext4 is replaced for ext3 above.
