--- Comment #179 from Theodore Tso (tytso@....edu) ---
Michael Orlitzky: In your report, you've indicated that you've only been seeing
bugs in files that are being *read* and that these were files that were written
long ago.    If you reboot, or drop caches using "echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" do the files stay corrupted?    Some of the reports
(but not others) seem to indicate the problem is happening on read, not on
write.  Of course, some of the reports are relating to metadata blocks getting
corrupted on read, while your report is about data blocks getting reported on
read. 

Thanks!
