Mingming, Can you post that patch somewhere for download? I access my email using Windows Vista, not in linux, so it would be very laborious to hand copy this patch and recreate it in linux. Updated the 2.6.26-rc8 kernel with the latest snapshot from today at 1833hrs GMT. All hell broke loose in Gentoo, The new kernel wouldn't allow the system to remount read/write on boot. But it worked fine in Slackware. Gentoo with the experimental openrc-0.2.5 and baselayout2 apparently does not like ext4. And for clarification, the patch you sent me is not yet in the queue? So to summarize my recent (as of the last seven days of snapshots) saga with ext4-queue-patch in Gentoo Through 062508/0019hrs no problems (although I do not believe delalloc was enabled) >From 062608/0042 - 062708/2353hrs had segfaulting when copying and tarring small files. No other detectable issues. >From 063008/1704 - 063008/2219hrs --no segfaulting but data corruption in one initiation file causing network interfaces to have to be manually activated. No data corruption if delalloc disabled latest snapshot 070108/1833hrs --system unable to be remounted read/write after fsck check. Manually booted to livecd with e2fsprogs-1.41WIP (17-June-2008). Efsck shows no filesystem problems. Rolling back to 063008/2219 snapshot fixes boot problems. No segfaulting. No data corruption IF delalloc disabled.
