Ext4 data corruption in 6.1 stable

I’ve defaulted to XFS since it became available for Linux, and never had any problems. Only once, some time around 2009, did I try ext3 and it forgot to flush a lot of data that were lost. I don’t see why anyone would use ext over XFS.

I guess this falls into the class of Linux bugs that causes regressions on the LTS kernel, where you'd be safer running stable.

When the Linux kernel is huge (MLoCs!), complex and lacks stable internal APIs, this should not surprise anyone.<p>There are better ways to do it, and it is being done.<p>Refer to the microkernel multiserver architecture, with efforts such as Genode (on seL4) or Fuchsia.

Any of the people who were freaking out over a rare ZFS corruption care to comment?

Is this triggered under certain workloads, or has it been chewing data for everyone, and how much?

I had already updated to the problematic kernel, so I resorted to installing 6.5 from backports. Hope this helps.

so everything before 6.1 is ok, and after 6.5 is also ok?
