Linux kernels before 2.2.14 could return a wrong EIO (I/O error) code as a return to a fsync() operation which causes the eloqdb6 process to panic.

This problem is rare but can happen if you are using the eloqdb6 sync I/O option. Probably all Linux kernel versions before 2.2.14 are affected.

Your options are either upgrading to kernel 2.2.14 (or above), disabling the eloqdb6 sync I/O mode or installing a kernel patch (see below for more information).
