Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2010:0178 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 kernel security and bug fix update 2010-03-29 12:18:21 UTC

Description Eric Sandeen 2009-10-08 18:27:36 UTC
There have been 200+ ext4 & jbd commits upstream since the RHEL5.4 ext4 codebase; several are for data integrity or system crash/dedlock bugs that should probably be addressed for RHEL5.5.  This will likely be a more targeted pull-back of a few choice commits rather than a wholesale backport of 2.6.32 ext4 code.
