No, it won't help in that case.

I guess it would be interesting to run it on a filesystem which has 2k or even 1k blocksize. If the corruption then terminates on a 2k- or 1k-boundary then that will rule out a few culprits.
I'd really like to see this happen on some other machine though. It'd be funny if you have a dud disk drive or something. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
