[Bug 83982] Re: Deleting large files corrupts EXT3 file system

[Kyle McMartin]

Ben, the only time you'll see the "REBOOT LINUX" message is when the
filesystem is already mounted as /, since init is running there and,
well, remounting properly would be tricky I imagine. This is mostly
speculation, but makes sense from the bits of code I just read.
