It doesn't touch buffer structure (uses only standard bread/brelse). There was a problem that it sometimes didn't write inode and thus weird things could happen. But it's now corrected. (It was corrected few hours after releasing - only 2 people downloaded buggy version 1.91). versions: 1.90b - quite stable, writes error messages about once in 2 weeks when intensively used, but doesn't corrupt fs 1.91b - contain the bug. do not use. 1.92b - stable
Maybe there's really bug in linux - but who knows?
