No, the host is Fedora 10. The KVM guest is CentOS 5.3 running kernel
2.6.18-128.1.6.el5. The filesystem activity caused corruption on the
filesystem being stressed (barely).
I've also seen corruption on a CentOS 5.3 install running on a physical
machine.
One of my friends is now attempting to reproduce the corruption on Red
Hat's release of the same package, and I'm trying to reproduce the
corruption on 2.6.18-128. I suggest that anyone using that kernel check
their filesystems and report any corruption that they find.
