After updating to 4.7.1 a block backup may fail with messages indicating that "The journaling system is not in a stable state".  For example:

DPX Release 4.7.0 and later includes a new CJ driver, which requires the system to be rebooted.  When updating to 4.7.1 from 4.6.1 or earlier, Autoupdate doesn't offer the option and no reboot occurs.  This causes the system to use the old driver with software interfaces expecting the new driver.

Solution

Reboot the system.  This will allow DPX to use the new driver.
