1. Filesystem corruption under 2.4.4
2. I encountered fs corruption shortly after upgrade from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4.
I found it after turning on my computer. The partitions seemed clean, but
a lot of files needed for system start could not be found.
The day before I turned it off correctly. I do not know what exactly
trggered the situation. Before turning it off I coppied some large (600+
MiB) from network via samba to slave harddisk on primary IDE channell. My
root partition is on primary master, the chipset is VIA KT133 (VT82C686).
3. filesystem, ext2fs, samba, networking, FAT
4. 2.4.4

7.5. The system board is MSI K7T Pro vith VIA KT133 chipset. Ide
interface VT82C686. Ethernet controller is RTL-8029(AS). Graphic card
NVidia GeForce MX with NVidia drivers.
X. The distribution I use is RedHat 7.1 upgraded from previous versions.
Running e2fsck helped little. I had to remove some files with debugfs and
create them again from backup. Mainly symlinks were affected.
