Al Viro,
I am seeing subtle data corruption of inode data blocks on ext2 with 2.4.17-pre1/2. Large files being untarred over and over and over again seem to trigger it, but it's hard to reproduce. (i.e. I am building patches against several kernel trees).
I have gotten it to happen twice. In both cases, I get a CRC error in a tar.gz and a message "skipping to next tar header" furing this error. The data is totally corrupted in the tar.gz when this problem shows up. It takes **HOURS** of heavy untarring/diffing/untarring to make it show up.
