           Summary: ext4: panic causes lost data in git
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.31-rc5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
        AssignedTo: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: jesse.brandeburg@intel.com
        Regression: No


When working within a local git tree, I committed a change, compiled and
reloaded my driver, which caused a panic.

After reboot my .git/objects/xx/xxxx (latest commit) had empty files.  This
doesn't seem to be an acceptable loss of data.  I've since started mounting
/home with data=ordered in the hope it would help.

I've mounted my LVM / and /home partitions with the default options

here is the output of tune2fs on /home
