Every two weeks or so there is a posting about ext2fs corruption.
Most of them turn out to be hardware related or maybe the buffer-cache or
some kernel memory gets trashed by buggy driver or something....
If someone can reliable provide a bug that will hose their file system I'd
be really keen to try it out.
I've been doing evil things to various ext2fs filesystems of the last week
for a variety of reasons, and I absolutely cannot produce file system
corruption that I would blame on the ext2fs code[*], so if somebody has an
evil technique that makes the ext2fs code break I would really like to know
about it....
[*] 'gdb vmlinux /proc/kcore' and modifying stuff on a live system doesn't
count. I got what I deserved....
