Hi, I ran into the same problem. First I also thought it might be a "size issue", but apparently it really is a kernel bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808795 To Quote Mads Kiilerich who answered on my question about a similar fsck error: "Such errors has been quite frequent in Fedora land recently. The root cause is apparently not simple, fully understood, and not fully fixed yet, but one starting point is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808795 - other aspects can be found by following links to other bugs. A workaround in that case is to disable 'cups' and 'sandbox' and restart." Disabling cups and sandbox didn't change anything in my case but maybe you have more luck with these tipps.

Hi John, the last thing which comes to my mind is that you make sure to make a reboot after disabling the services. After the reboot it worked on my system (RHEL 6.2) without any flaws.

Hi James I tried once more and rebooted after disabling sandbox and cups. Still failed after the resize on the fsck. I can make small remixes - 1.4GB and smaller,, but nothing larger. I wonder how the folks who made Fedora Scientific Spin (2.4GB Live F16 DVD) did it? Is it because they use KDE and not GNOME?
