There was a bug in ext3 which was fixed around about the 2.4.9 timeframe. I don't know if the fix is present in that particular Red Hat kernel. It was fixed in ext3 0.9.8. The ext3 version number is displayed when you mount a filesystem.
The 0.9.8 changelog says:
- Fix an NFS oops when doing a local delete on an active, nfs-exported file.
I never observed this bug - I think the fix came from Ted T'so. I do not know whether the bug manifested itself as "busy inodes after unmount". Perhaps Ted or Stephen can comment? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
