Heads up: Possible ext4 file issue in rawhide after updates of 17th or 18th of September

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a rawhide update issue, or a problem with the
hard drive (sata spinning) itself.  But, after updates a few days ago,
the file system (ext4) eventually hangs and is corrupted.  I see a glibc
update, but nothing else that looks suspicious, though I'm no expert on
what might impact the file system.  The reason I'm not sure it is the
drive is that when I boot and run smartctl from that partition, it
tells me the hard drive is fine (PASSED). After it locks up with
terrible messages like unable to find superblock 0, etc., I can then
boot into an older Fedora and run e2fsck, and it fixes the errors. And
smartctl there also shows that the drive passes.  I can also access
data in other partitions on the drive without problem.  Notably, those
partitions are *not* updated from the OS in the partition that is
having problems.

It's an older drive, and it is a Seagate, a brand I've had problems
with in the past, so I'm going with the failing drive explanation for
now. But I thought I should mention the possibility that rawhide might
have a file system instability.  Especially now that btrfs is the
default, so not many people will be exercising ext4.
