So here's where I am at the moment:
* XFS v4 on rebuilding adaptec RAID fails under heavy IO, with or
without LVM, with kernels 3.2.xx up to 3.17.7.
* Today I've run the same test with ext4 : no problem whatsoever. I'm
rechecking md5 of all files to get sure, but it looks OK so far after
testing several terabytes.
I don't understand how the RAID firmware could send back bad data
(corrupted metadata AND data) to XFS but not to ext4...
