*Known Linux Kernels with Severely Broken Ext4

There was an issue with Ext4 introduced in "vanilla" Kernel.org kernel 2.6.32 and has been patched and released "down stream" into various Linux distributions.  When any Ext4 file system snapshot is performed on an effected kernel the file system can deadlock causing a hung or crashed operating system.

This is a Linux kernel bug completely out of the control of R1Soft

Do not use the following Linux kernel versions with Ext4:

  • Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) Betas and Release Candidates - we have reports that Ubuntu Lucid 2.6.32-24.41 and greater are fixed
  • Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) Betas and Release Candidates
  • Debian 6 (Squeeze) Betas and Release Candidates
  • Fedora Core 12 Betas and Release Candidates
  • Xen (4.0 / 4.1) - Do Not use Ext4 on 2.6.32-5-xen - 2.6.32-35-xen_02
