I was hopping to see something like this in order to make me think twice
about the rolling part. I love it to be honest, but things broke too often
those times (and I really don't understand why), like if, in 2012, it is
normal to let pass more "bugs" like those... But still, for those who want to
know a good reason here it is (directly from Phoronix website):
* [http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIxNDQ EXT4 Data
Corruption Bug Hits Stable Linux Kernels]
The bug has been found on the 3.6.2 Kernel (available in the jxself
repositories), but (apparently) is it also available on 3.4 and 3.5 Kernel.
Know comes my question (Yes because a topic without a question isn't fun at
all).
Do anyone still use EXT3 ? Or EXT2 ? (Or another one for the record ?) And
why ?
PS: Nothing to do with the post, but for those that want to put Trisquel (or
any Gnu/Linux Distribution), on a USB Pen, SD Card etc... to transport it
everywhere without using a laptop (for example) they should use the EXT2
type. (I can be wrong on that one but) Since it is a non journalised type you
will have less writing and reading on the device and it will leave longer (I
am saying this because usually those devices don't have a long I\O).
