The place where I'd strongly encourage testing is the ext4 code in
Karmic.  

I have not tried running the XFS tests on the current Jaunty code, so
it would probably be a good idea to run the xfstests on the current
Jaunty code to get a baseline before trying to test an updated Jaunty
with even more ext4 backported patches added, since there is strong
suspicion that "something might be rotten in the state of Denmark"
with respect to the current ext4 in Jaunty.  So definitely try getting
a baseline first.

Best of luck with the Jaunty update; if there's something I can do to
help or to clarify some patch, please let me know.
