Phoronix has its merits, but take anything you read outside of the area of graphics benchmarks with a pinch of salt. The first 'OH NO THE SKY IS FALLING!' turned out to be a bug you could only hit by shutting down uncleanly with some non-standard mount options set, and the second wasn't a bug in ext4 or the upstream kernel at all; it was just a consequence of Ubuntu 12.10 failing to shut down cleanly in some configurations. Does not impact Fedora at all. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
