Bug#425534: ext3 filesystem corruption also with linux-image-2.6.18-5-486 Version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13

[aragon@jpberlin.de]

found    425534 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13
thanks


Hello,

the bugs described above also occurred with linux-image-2.6.18-5-486
Version:2.6.18.dfsg.1-13

This means, that Debian/Stable still contains an unusable ext3
filesystem.

Are there any plans to bring a newer kernel (e.g. 2.6.21) into Etch?

Regards,
Martin
