--- Comment #6 from Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>  2010-05-25 18:02:53 ---
Jesse, are you still running with data=writeback (as comment nr. 1 seemed to
indicate, since you said you would -try- data=ordered...) - data=writeback is
just not safe at all for anybody, anywhere, any time, unless you plan to
recreate all data post-crash.

With default mount options (which includes data=ordered) do you still see this
problem on upstream kernels?

In the end, though, you have to realize that buffered data which is not synced
to disk -will- be lost on a crash.  This is true for all filesystems, though
the window of "opportunity" may differ....
