[Bug 641741] Re: EXT4-fs crash on boot attempting to fix minor corruption

[Owen]

Even if I upgrade to the latest upstream kernel I am disinclined to
deliberately attempt to corrupt my file system to duplicate this. If you
have any suggestions as to how I can test the issue on the new kernel
without putting my data at risk I'm happy to do so but the only way I
can think of is deliberately hard-resetting until something goes wrong,
kind of like russian roulette.

This bug actually highlights two issues, first: ext4-fs crashing on
mount, and second: shouldn't there be a way to boot and run fsck without
the system mounting all the file systems first?

Just found this bug marked expired which seems to be related to the second issue:
