So that means that the file-corruption which existed until 2.6.37-rc6
and got triggered (for me) more easily via "dm crypt: scale to
multiple CPUs"
is fixed now ?

That should give ext4 a nice speedup for >=2.6.38 :)

Could you also please add an ?

I mainly found it through testing with the mentioned dm-crypt scaling
patch and >=2.6.36-git*

Thanks & Regards !

Matt
