<pre>Very interesting. This is exactly the sort of corruptions I am seeing in my
journal data. I have to systems running multiboot on the same hardware. One
is a very basic Mageia 3 64bit system running on ext4. It has zero problem
with journal corruptions. The other is my main system, a 32bit Mageia 3 system
running on 64bit Intel hardware. The file system is exclusively btrfs raid 1
configuration. On this system I get a constant flow of corruptions that look
exactly like what Hussam is seeing. The corruptions typically occur 89-95%
into the verify scan. What is interesting is that I am not seeing any problem
with the actual logs, only with the verifies. But I am finding that once these
corruptions accumulate to a certain point the journal logging system itself
dies. I have had that happen once already and was only able to restore it by
cleaning out the old journal files. Since I can't trust the journal on this
system, I am running rsyslog as a backup.</pre>
