I observed occasional disk cache corruption with 2.0.35, 2.0.36pre12
and 2.1.124 un SMP dual PII (Elitegroup MB) after using user-space NFS.
After some time (15min to some weeks) disk cache became corrupted
(all binaries and libs). After fsck I obseved a lot of corrupted inodes,
some of them being copies of inodes located on *another filesystem*
(eg. copies of some files from /etc are found in /home/lost+found)
and some other data being lost.
The inode corruption appears only on NFS-exported fs (/home).
No problem with other r/w filesystems which are accessed from network
using samba.
I didn't observe it with the official 2.0.36 yet.
I'm using quota on the NFS-exported /home. Maybe the problem is here ?
May it be hardware problem ? I tried some-hour kernel compilation tests
with different configs and different "-j" and there was no problem (even
under load about 100) unless I tried to use NFS.
