P.S. There is a known ext4 file system corruption bug which is fixed in the 2.6.30 mainline kernel and in 2.6.29.5. It was found after the stable kernel series stopped updating for 2.6.28, but I do carry a fix for it in my for-stable-2.6.28 branch of the ext4 git tree, located here:

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git for-stable-2.6.28
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git;a=shortlog;h=for-stable-2.6.28

(This is where it's handy to have a file system specialist working at the distribution; when I found the problem, I was able to contact Eric and he made sure the patch was quickly dropped into the F11 kernel.)
