Technically yes, but it sort of eminated from V crashing when writing to
cache for some and causing invalidated/corrupt partitions. Several
suggested alternate filesystems as a solution, but as with anything there
are always caveats to watch out for. Loss of data is rarely a good thing.
That's how we got here. But I think this issue has been explored pretty
thouroughly and should be dying off now. Everyone now knows what their
options are and has been warned of potential problems.
Thanks for the info!
