There is a corruption issue with ext3 and ext4, that we have seen on
some test boxes. Upstream is aware.

Is this an issue on NSF servers? that's the only thing I could find
online and it's been around since 2.6.28.9.

Hello,


        The issue has been around for a while:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/24/415

The 2.6.30 kernel now has data=guarded mode that can be used instead of data=ordered for ext3. I think the default could have been data=writeback which is pretty much insane.

You can follow a nice history of what has been going on.
