Hi,

I hit an rtorrent data corruption issue again. But this time, rtorrent seems to write data that were mmapped by other processes (in the downloaded files, I found my data from Chromium and later the data produced by the testing utility by Linus from
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/180). Unfortunately, I was so far unable to reproduce the issue just with the testing utility.

I reverted to stable 2.6.38.2 for now as I don't feel like broadcasting my private data via bittorrent.

Regards,

Do you have an r8169 also ?
I have data coruption in my torent files. But I didn't think to blame the kernel for that.
