    Hi,

    I'm trying to use an USB Disk (IDE Disk in external USB Case), but
    strange file system errors occurend and tools as dosfsck reproducably
    hang.

    kingfisher:/home/schabi# uname -a
    Linux kingfisher 2.6.0 #1 Wed Dec 24 19:16:00 CET 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
     
    kingfisher:/home/schabi# cat /proc/version
    Linux version 2.6.0 (root@kingfisher) (gcc-Version 3.3.2 (Debian)) #1
    Wed Dec 24 19:16:00 CET 2003

    I attached a kernel log excerpt, it seems as there's a bug in the slab
    allocater.

    As I used 2.6.0, was there some work up to now (2.6.2rc2) in this area
    so I should test using this newer kernel again?

    I'm willing to do some debug work and run tests if you tell me what to
    do, but I have very limited kernel developer knowledge.

    Thanks,
    Markus
