* * * I JUST HIT THIS BUG * * * Yes, I just did it...
I have bought a new SEAGATE HDD, part number ST3500418AS. Formatted as ext4, with / (40GB), swap (5GB), /home (220GB) and ntfs (220GB). I installed ubuntu 10.04 and installed all updates. Then I downloaded the ISO for 10.04.1 via Transmission bit-torrent client. I burned the CD with Brasero. Upon installation, it stuck in "Ubuntu" screen. Told it to check the CD and there were errors. For my surprise, the ISO file MD5SUM was mismatching in the ext4 partition. Then I turned on Transmission again and made it "RECHECK" the file, the file got the correct MD5SUM. I believe I have hit this bug just now, because I was using ext3 for my home partition in my previous HDD. ext4 only for root partition. Now, problems have arised a couple of minutes JUST AFTER a ISO download and a fresh formatted ext4. I would consider not marking this bug as invalid. -- in-place corruption of large files *without fsck or reboot* reported with linux 2.6.31-14.46 on ext4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is a direct subscriber.

Scott says: 12:36 < Keybuk> this whole ext4 thing is worrying me 12:36 < Keybuk> I just downloaded an iso image, md5sum didn't match 12:36 < Keybuk> downloaded it into an ext3 partition, matched just fine 12:59 < Keybuk> and I know mvo has seen bugs with corrupted .debs in /var/cache/apt/archives 12:59 < Keybuk> which seems to imply its any file large enough to use lots of extents I'm opening this bug report so that this bug gets tracked & triaged for karmic. If we're unable to isolate the issue, we should consider rolling back to ext3 as the default filesystem in the installer.
