As long as you never have to remount a filesystem while under heavy load, you're safe. Most folks will never have a need for this, but i'd still be concerned.My recent fix for the ext3 data=journal umount data loss problem
has a bug. The filesystem can deadlock if someone runs `mount -o remount'
while the filesystem is under load. Everything which writes to that
filesystem gets stuck in `D' state.
I recently patched using the 3 patches ext3 patches. Is this a needed update to those patches? and I heard that most systems will not be effected by this bug. true?
