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.... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
