[OpenAFS] Journal abort caused a problem

[Steve Gaarder]

Early this morning, one of my AFS servers (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 
Openafs 1.4.0) complained of an aborted ext3 journal on /vicepb (which is 
an md-mirrored pair).  The system declared the filesystem to be read-only, 
and AFS stopped serving the volumes on that partition.  I had to reboot, 
fsck the partition, and salvage the volumes.  Does anyone have any idea 
why this might have happened, and what can be done to prevent a 
repetition?

thanks,
