I've been using a modified patch that panics when limit is hit but was unable to reproduce the filesystem corruption :( However, since raising the limit to the max value for the root filesystem is something we rather have than not, I should probably start looking at it. I have a question, though. Should ext2fs go through glibc setrlimit? Or is it ok to call directly the new RPC? In the first case, I'm not very familiar with glibc codebase.
