Is corruption ever subtle? I'm seeing my /home filesystem (ext4, options
rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered,
which I assume are the defaults because I don't think I've messed with
them) abort and need a fsck. I assume it's some thing running that
shouldn't be, but don't yet know for certain. Strange, because the
BUG_ON() in the I/O code should be capturing anything. Perhaps I need to
think that stuff through some more.

Nigel
