I have been testing 5.3 (Standard Install/Default settings) and haven't had any file system corruption. However, the I/O performance results from my testing currently show that there is a major difference between 4.11 and 5.3 (4.11 is much faster!). I have a suspicion that these issues may be related to some core issues with 5.3 that need to cleared up.
