16 That's not true. Up to 2.6.17.5 it /may/ eat your data. I ran
17 2.6.17, in the buggy state, for >2 weeks before I upgraded. It did
18 _not_ eat my data. Don't get me wrong - it was lucky, and yes - it's
19 a heinous bug. If it just _ate_ your data, more people would have
20 lost data and or filesystems.
