I read through it in detail. That finally triggered my memory. There were multiple issues that affected 2.6.12 - 2.6.14. In your case, it probably wasn't JFS specifically, but most likely an interaction between JFS and the LVM layer. I never tried that feature. This affected 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 http://www.arcknowledge.com/gmane.comp.file-systems.jfs.general/2005-10/msg00020.html Here is also an interesting LWN article about the 4k page issue that came out at the same time and how it affected device_mapper, LVM and such things. (See the second section.) http://lwn.net/Articles/149977/ Here's a complaint about 2.6.13 and 2.6.14 on AMD with ext3. This is just an example of other complaints that were comming in. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/09/27/62 In short, there were multiple sources of corruption at that time and you could have been bitten by any of them. Hopefully things are more settled now, but I certainly will watch out for any issues. -S- On Fri, 9 Feb 2007, Alex Deucher wrote: > On 2/9/07, J.
