But some of patches in -mm (following three patches) haven't been sent to Linus. #jbd-fix-error-handling-for-checkpoint-io.patch: double-check this jbd-fix-error-handling-for-checkpoint-io.patch ext3-add-checks-for-errors-from-jbd.patch jbd-test-bh_write_eio-to-detect-errors-on-metadata-buffers.patch They improve filesystem corruption problem and it is needed by mission critical systems. Could you tell me what is your concern (you commented, "double-check this") ? Are there something that I can help? For example, I can provide some SystemTap scripts to help tests.
