The Jaunty is running with e2fsprogs 1.41.4, which is not subject to
this bug. That being said, 1.41.6 does fix bugs which could corrupt
the filesystem if resize2fs is used to shrink an ext4 filesystem.
(Basically I don't recommend anyone use resize2fs on an ext4
filesystem to do off-line operations with 1.41.4). That's probably
going to be the most important reason to go to 1.41.6 for Jaunty.
So from a priority point of view, going to 1.41.6 is far more
important for Karmic, since this bug (possible corruption of
filesystems when replaying the journal) is more likely to be
triggered, and affects ext3 and ext4 filesystem. For Jaunty,
e2fsprogs 1.41.4's resize2fs may corrupt filesystems, but it's less
common for users to use off-line resize2fs is the first place, and it
only affects ext4 filesystems. Probably still worth taking the
release, but I'll leave that to your judgement.
