EXT3 filesystem corruption

["Steven Wilton" <steven.wilton@team.eftel.com.au>]

Hi,

I added a response to the following bug report about 6 months ago, and
was wondering if it can be resolved:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=425534


The bug is a documented race condition in ext3, with a patch that has
been applied upstream, which I thought might be considered important
enough to fix.  I would imagine that it woud not cause problems for a
lot of users, who would either not hit the race condition, or it would
be corrected (and possibly ignored) when the machine runs a fsck on
reboot.

Regards

Steven
