This is a result of using data=writeback journal mode and has been well known for a long time. If you use data=ordered mode (the default on most distros) the journal isn't written until after the data, which eliminates the problem you've experienced. https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext3_Data%3DOrdered_vs_Data%3DWriteback_mode -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
