[Bug 453579] Re: in-place corruption of large files *without fsck or reboot* reported with linux 2.6.31-14.46 on ext4

[The Loeki]

I see there's a lot of discussion going on about this bug, I'll just
drop in my 5c:

I cleanly installed/updated a x64 Karmic w/ext4 filesystems on my MacBook 5,1 (no other OSes installed). 
Due to the nature of my work I downloaded over a dozen ISO's of different HTTP/FTPs, none of which failed their MD5 sums.

Yesterday, I cleanly installed/updated a x32 Karmic on some measly
Centrino/Pentium M 1,6 Ghz laptop and copied, amongst others, 7 DVD
ISO's to it from an external NTFS harddrive, with no apparent issue or
corruption (though I'd have to check the MD5's to make absolutely sure).

So for me, this issue doesn't seem to exist. Then again, both
filesystems are clean-and-simple 3 primary partition layouts (10GB
/,RAM*1~1,5 swap, remainder /home, handmade during install), no hw/sw
RAID/LVM or whatever.
