SubjectRe: Apparent serious progressive ext4 data corruption bug in 3.6.3 (and other stable branches?)
Date
On 24 Oct 2012, nix@esperi.org.uk uttered the following:

Note that two umounts are not required: fsck found corruption on /var
after a single boot+shutdown round in 3.6.3+this patch. (It did do a
journal replay on /var first.)
