For fear of leading anyone down a path that eventually causes them |
| 21 |
problems I won't attempt to communicate the root cause or fixes but |
| 22 |
there is new information, and a potential patch verified by the only |
| 23 |
person to see this problem, about what causes the corruption. Read the |
| 24 |
thread if this makes any difference in your life. Don't worry about it |
| 25 |
if it doesn't. |

Basically, it's apparently driven by mount options and something the |
| 28 |
OP (of the lkml thread) did which most users are unlikely IMO to ever |
| 29 |
try. |
