Subject: Re: 2.6.27 & ext4 strangeness

On Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:09:17 -0500, I waved a wand and this message
magically appears in front of Theodore Tso:

I've not been able to reproduce this yet but when it happens again I
will drop you a email. I'm actually quite happy with ext4 ever since I
switched all my boxes over to that filesystem. 

Thanks.
