Hi Chris,
Thank you for your help, indeed this oneliner fixes the corruption. I have tested with 2.6.12.3 + bio_clone fix and also built an updated RedHat EL4 kernel with the fix included. No corruption anymore. This fix should be applied to most kernels shipped with the latest Linux distributions. At least those products called Enterprise something should hurry in the interest of their customers. Do you think this will happen anytime soon?
