Sure, I'm willing (backed up my workstation completely, of course). I first rebuilt 2.4.19 with your new patch applied on a ext3 fs with dir_index disabled, built your new e2fsprogs WIP packages, and installed them. Installed the new kernel. Turned on dir_index, and rebooted into the new kernel.

Good news: I haven't been able to replicate any of the corruption I was seeing earlier with Galeon 1.2.6 and Mozilla 1.1 from Debian's unstable branch. This corruption would occur pretty randomly but almost immediately after starting Galeon, and it'd show up immediately in my xconsole (I use xdm) in the form of some nasty EXT3 errors (as I noted earlier). I'll bang away with dump and bonnie[++] and see if I can make it spew. ;-) Thanks again! -Dan -- Dan Chen crimsun@fungus.sh.nu GPG key: www.sh.nu/~crimsun/pubkey.gpg.asc - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
