This narrows it down to between 2.6.29 and 2.6.32 - is that correct?

So it is probably the change to RAID6 to support async parity calculations.

Looking at the code always makes my head spin.

Dan : have you any ideas?

It seems that writing to a double-degraded RAID6 while it is recovering to
a space can trigger data corruption.

2.6.29 works
2.6.32 doesn't
3.8.0 still doesn't.

I suspect async parity calculations.
