I can confirm:

   - Filesystem does not matter. I've had corruption on Reiser3 and xfs
   - I've had to reinstall many different packages. The bug is not specific to 
a single package.
   - Corruption occurs on i386 and AMD64.

I'm not sure about:

   - Hardware. The problem did not appear to be as severe when I disabled ADMA 
on my nforce4 chipset. We need to find out which other chipsets are affected.
   - I've had corruption on Maxtor (SATA) and Western Digital (SATA2) drives so 
we can probably rule out drive brand. We need to find out if SCSI and IDE 
drives are affected too.
   - Corruption occurs at the filesystem level. I'm not sure if a userspace app 
can do that without a bug in kernel space.

How do we get this bug on the radar. Importance should be set to at
least Major and status to Confirmed since so many people have reported
it.

Possibly relataded bugs: #146636, #137179, #90004.
