2.4.15 (2.5.0) causes file system corruption



2.4.15 has a problem with dirty inodes being left around on umount,
therefore causing file system corruption. don't run it if you value your
data. if you are already running it (i was), here are instructions what
to do:

and here's a patch to fix it:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100655322609664&w=2

if you already rebooted once with a 2.4.15 kernel, you probably want to
do 'shutdown -F -r now', to force fsck on boot. the file sytem is marked
clean, so fsck will *not* run automatically.

QA? wtf is QA?
