This error message relates to flushing pages out beyond the end of file,
the only place I saw it was via NFS, the code checked in on the 5th
stopped it happening for me.

At the moment I need to establish if these bugs are still there in the
current development cvs tree, or people are still running kernels with
old code in them. 

Presuming this is a current kernel, then we need more information
about what you were doing to create the problem.

a) was NFS involved, if so mount options and nfsd config options used,
b) are you still filling the filesystem
c) how big was the file
d) machine configuration

Thanks
