Subject: data=journal busted
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2007 20:44:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070215204445.411d2760.akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)


I have a report from a google person who just did some basic
power-it-off-during-a-write testing on 2.6.20's ext3.  ordered-data is OK,
but data=journal came back with crap in the file data.

Is anyone doing any formal recovery stress-testing?

I suspect we should resurrect and formalise my old
make-the-disk-stop-accepting-writes-when-a-timer-goes-off thing.  It was
very useful for stress-testing recovery.
