[Bug 53102] Re: Ext3 filesystem corruption - data loss

[Tero Karvinen]

** Description changed:

  Ext3 partitions get corrupted when using Linux 2.6.x.
  
  This problem has been reported with many 2.6.x configurations. Problem
- has been reported with Linux 2.6.15-26-686 (this bug #53102), Edgy and
- Linux 2.6.17 (bug #65815), Linux 2.6.20 (bug #118256), Dapper and
- 2.6-amd64-generic (bug #69430). Also Linux Kernel Mailing List and other
- distributions lists mention a similar bug.
+ has been reported with Feisty and Linux 2.6.15-26-686 (this bug #53102),
+ Edgy and Linux 2.6.17 (bug #65815), Linux 2.6.20 (bug #118256), Dapper
+ and 2.6-amd64-generic (bug #69430) and Dapper and 2.6.17. Also Linux
+ Kernel Mailing List and other distributions lists mention a similar bug.
  
  Original description of this bug:
  
  Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-686
  
  On an approximately weekly basis, at least one of my ext3 partitions on
  one of my many disks will become corrupt, remounted as read-only, and
  require repairs.  This is an alarmingly high failure rate.
  
  I was reluctant to log this bug but now that it has occurred on
  different disks on various occasions I can't dismiss it as a bad drive.
  
  This began shortly after the upgrade to 2.6.15-26.  Before that, no
  problems (that I can recall).
