Package: kernel-image-2.6.12-1-k7
Severity: important

When trying to upgrade the harddisc to a bigger sata drive, I
also decided to use lvm.

However a simple copy (like tar -C /usr -cf- . | tar -C /mnt -xvf- )
here (/mnt is on the lvm on sata and /usr is a raw ext3 on pata), will
fail and the destination partion will get moarked readonly.

On examinining the dmesg output you can find this:-

EXT3-fs error (device dm-1): ext3_new_inode: reserved inode or inode > inodes 
count - block_group = 0, inode=6
Aborting journal on device dm-1.
EXT3-fs error (device dm-1) in ext3_new_inode: IO failure
EXT3-fs error (device dm-1) in ext3_symlink: IO failure
ext3_abort called.
EXT3-fs error (device dm-1): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
Remounting filesystem read-only

I'm guessing the problem is at the sata layer, as I have also seen the 
problem with a raw ext3 partion on the same device, and I'm not
see anything which looks like a hw / sata layer error message.

I also had this problem with 2.6.8 from stable.
