The code path that is being patched in the ext4_write_inode() function is new to 2.6.32 and does not exist in Karmic.
It may be possible (though unlikely), that the read only non-journaled case calling ext4_force_commit is causing the corruption as in the 2.6.32 patch this case is short circuited returning without doing anything, however in 2.6.32 this code path is short circuiting on sync_dirty_buffers() not ext4_force_commit. I have attached the patch reworked for 2.6.31 short circuiting the read only non-journaled case but I need to evaluate the code more. ** Attachment added: "patch reworked for 2.6.31 kernel" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34089422/ext4-ro.diff -- corruption of large files reported with linux 2.6.31-14.46 on ext4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453579 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
