Waldemar mentioned ext4.

I don't think there's anything specific about it to the Cubox-i, and I'd
also suggest that it's got nothing to do with ARM either - the iMX6 are
PIPT data caches so there can't be any issues with D-cache aliasing with
fuse.

It must be a bug in generic code.

Also worth noting that 1/4 of the RAM is not used because highmem is not
enabled.  Also L2 cache is disabled (so it's running slower than it
should...)
