It doesn't seem to hit everyone, but it can be a real disaster if it hits you. Debian etch won't even install on one of my machines because of severe file-system corruption during installation!
I would strongly advise against considering 2.6.19 stable until this bug has been fixed. -- hendrik P.S. Actually Debian backported some useful code from 2.6.19 that happened to activate the bug. -- hendrik -- [email protected] mailing list
