I gave up on ext4 (and 3) some time ago.
I was compiling gcc on an ext4 filesystem and
it locked up.
The only ones I trust based on years of experience
are minix, ext2, and xfs.

According to LWN, the bug affects kernel versions 3.4.14, 3.4.15, 3.5.7, 3.6.2,
and 3.6.3.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (the current LTS), and it reports version:
Linux version 3.2.0-32-generic (buildd@batsu) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro
4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:33:09 UTC 2012
So, it looks like if you are using the current Ubuntu LTS you would not be
affected by this. You would need to be using a *very* recent kernel to have a
problem.
You can check which kernel version you have by opening a terminal and typing:
cat /proc/version

If you read the full LKML thread you will see that they have now isolated the
problem to rebooting while umount has started but not completed. It doesn't look
like something most of us are likely to ever run into.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
