Although there was a truncation bug listed as introduced in 2.6.21 and fixed before 2.6.22,

I had a number of truncations occur with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (kernel 2.6.22) AMD64 build using XFS on RAID 1 partition, so apparently it's not fixed. This looked very much like the bug described previously - a number of files truncated to block boundaries on restart.

I've dropped XFS for Ext3 and AMD64 for I386 in the hopes of finding some stability.

best regards,

can you be more specific? i.e. a link to the bug report?

What is the test case you have that shows this bug?

Cheers,
