Well, we really need to see _what_ error the journal had encountered to
be able to even begin to diagnose it.  But 2.6.9-rc1-mm3 and -mm4 had a
bug in the journaling introduced by low-latency work on the checkpoint
code; can you try -mm5 or back out
"journal_clean_checkpoint_list-latency-fix.patch" and try again?

Cheers,
