@Theodore: Keep in mind the context of many of these reports, at least here: an alpha OS (Jaunty) and not well tested, newly pulled in versions of proprietary drivers. I wouldn't say linux users are used to crashed all the time, but on an alpha with new proprietary drivers, kernel panics aren't THAT rare until worked out. New upstream application versions could also be doing silly things, they haven't been thoroughly tested yet, that's the point of testing them :) Just thought this reminder might help, it could be easy to not think about if you are using EXT4 in a more stable environment. Having said that, Alpha 5 has been awesome for me and I am now using it full time with EXT4. -- Ext4 data loss https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
