Ah! it's turned on by journal_async_commit. OK, that alone argues against use of journal_async_commit, tested or not, and I'd not have turned it on if I'd noticed that. (So, the combinations I'll be trying for effect on this bug are: journal_async_commit (as now) journal_checksum none Technically to investigate all possibilities we should try journal_async_commit,no_journal_checksum, but this seems so unlikely to have ever been tested by anyone that it's not worth looking into...) -- NULL && (void) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
