Hi Heinz, I've been using this patch since 2.6.37-rc6+ with ext4 and xfs filesystems and haven't seen any corruptions since then (ext4 got "fixed" since 2.6.37-rc6, xfs showed no problems from the start) http://git.eu.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=1449032be17abb69116dbc393f67ceb8bd034f92 (is the actual temporary fix for ext4) Regards Matt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
