Description merll 2012-03-04 14:39:08 UTC
Messages "kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents.c:1953" occur, which seem to be triggered when running certain processes (reproducible with init and gdm). The volume can be mounted without any apparent problems and e2fsck does not report any errors. Nevertheless, the file system may have been corrupted during an earlier system crash.

For example, the following message can be produced when running "shutdown -r now":
