It might be worth reminding that in the current context, the issue appears to be kernel dependent and related to disk I/O traffic. The corruption then is a consequence of repeated system freezes during "rpm" transactions [kernel package rev. 2835 of "fc6-updates-testing" is the only one since my switch to "FC6" and recent "rawhide" which allows me to reliably avoid these problems]. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
