I have a CIFS volume which contains an image file formatted with ext4 and mounted on loop. Sometimes the ext4 FS corrupt itself and the following lines shows in the logs: Code: Jan 30 04:00:02 server1 kernel: [817452.247111] CIFS: Attempting to mount //IP/FOLDER Jan 30 04:00:08 server1 kernel: [817458.303566] EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
