In 2.4.20-pre5 an optimisation was made to the ext3 fsync function which can very easily cause file data corruption at unmount time. This was first reported by Nick Piggin on November 29th (one day after 2.4.20 was released, and three months after the bug was merged. Unfortunate timing)
In fact it was reported on lkml on 18th July IIRC before 2.4.19 was released if that is any help to you. 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 are affected and I haven't tested previous releases. I was going to re-report it sometime, but Alan brought it to light just the other day.
