I could not yet reach http://kerneltrap.org/ but on Slashdot there is a
article:
http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/02/0128206

An anonymous reader writes "Andrew Morton alerted readers of the Linux Kernel
mailing list today that ext3 in the 2.4.20 kernel has a new bug that can
easily cause file data corruption at unmount time. The bug will only affect
people using ext3 in "data=journal" mode, which fortunately is not the
default... Full details can be read on KernelTrap."

If you find Details on this issue, or eaven a working link to a patch, please
tell me!

Worf
