[Bug 337246] Re: kernel bug corrupts filesystem on heavy parallel I/O

[ddi]

If cases regularly 'fall into the cracks' then there must be a bigger
inherent problem in the processes used, regardless of any minor
technical issues like the "meta"-designation.

Anyway, no problem - 'you get what you pay for'! ;-P

The vanilla kernel package and matching e2fsprogs sounds great.  Are
there other low level utilities that should be matched up to the new
kernel before I install, like for instance coreutils and the initramfs
generator?

Is there a corresponding source .deb for the vanilla kernel, so I can
apply Eric's depth-fix patch on top, before make and make install?

Will the updated e2fsprogs and e2fslibs .debs automatically be
overwritten with packages from the mainline repository, once mainline
catches up to Jaunty versions and beyond?

And, going to a slightly larger scope, is there an Ubuntu package for
open-vm-tools, so I can install new kernels (and enable auto-update on
servers for that matter!) without the network connection breaking,
performance dropping etc due to missing net/block drivers?
