I tested with 2.6.26-3 from unstable. I also get the corruption with
this kernel. Are you sure that everything that went into 2.6.27 is also in
the Debian kernel? If not, could you build an image for arm?
Tobias: Are you running arm or armel? The XFS on arm bug referenced in the
kernel changelog suggests that at least some parts of the problem may be
arm specific. Did anyone test on armel?
