Assertions in ext2fs

[Neal H Walfield]

I have triggered two assertions in ext2fs (both were on the root
partition):

 - ext2fs/pager.c:793:  This occured during a long build (the src and
   build directories were on other partitions).
 - ext2fs/inode.c:722:  cp -R foo* ~ from a second partition onto the
   root partition.

Further strangeness is that I have been getting:

   /dev/hd2s5 is mounted.

   WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE
   filesystem damage.

   Do you really want to continue (y/n)?
 
while booting.  This happens for all partitions in /etc/fstab (even one
that I never mount!).  Furthermore, this is a clean system which I
installed yesterday.

I am using e2fsprogs debian version 1.20-1.
