Am I the only one seeing something strange on ext3 with this kernel? For example /etc/resolv.conf gets corrupted during the dhclient run. It looks like this, after dhclient finishes:

if we hit an error that CONFIG_DEBUG_VM makes much more likely.


Yes, I have. Will retry without it and let you know if the problem goes away.

Thanks.

Seems quite dangerous, a few minutes with 2.6.19-mm1 corrupted quite a lot of files on my fs.

Sorry.
