Slower performance with ext4

The distro maintainers usually do some basic reliability tests or at least have access to such tests. So I would be happy to read any tests you've seen that suggest ext4 is unreliable. To start scaring people with talk of data loss based on random speculation would not be good.

Dude, I used to work with clusters of mta boxes. The last thing I needed 
then was a filesystem that loses data or corrupts its metadata easily. I 
wait before using any new fangled filesystem regardless of how uber fast 
it is or I play the pull the plug game with them with whatever 
journaling mode they have available.


ext4 data loss reports started with Ubuntu Jaunty I think too?
