** Summary changed: - ext3 partitions are getting corrupt more often than they should + Ext3 filesystem corruption - data loss
** Description changed: + Ext3 partitions get corrupted when using Linux 2.6.x. + + This problem has been reported with many 2.6.x configurations. Problem + has been reported with Linux 2.6.15-26-686 (this bug #53102), Edgy and + Linux 2.6.17 (bug #65815), Linux 2.6.20 (bug #118256), Dapper and + 2.6-amd64-generic (bug #69430). Also Linux Kernel Mailing List and other + distributions lists mention a similar bug. + + Original description of this bug: + Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-686 On an approximately weekly basis, at least one of my ext3 partitions on one of my many disks will become corrupt, remounted as read-only, and require repairs. This is an alarmingly high failure rate. I was reluctant to log this bug but now that it has occurred on different disks on various occasions I can't dismiss it as a bad drive. This began shortly after the upgrade to 2.6.15-26. Before that, no problems (that I can recall).
