What is the JBD error about and how to fix it?
Recently I was exposed to the fsck hell run and immediately after fsck was run, there was an error about JBD ie # JBD: barrier-based sync failed on hda1 - disabling barriers # I looked at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-linux-e&r=1&w=2 and didn't find out what might be causing it. I would assume it has something to do with journalling ie JournalBackupData but why or how to fix escapes me. What is it and where/what can I do to stop it?

This is not an error. Just a mere warning that barriers (read about it at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html section "Write barrier support") Old harddrives don't support barriers, so just live with it. Jan Engelhardt --
