I have a freshly installed ubuntu 9.10 with 2 newly created ext4 partitions (45GiB for / and 870GiB for /home). I did not encounter any problem so far. (The /home drive contains ~500GiB of films) Also the tester program of comment #112 doesn't reveal any problems. So I'm lucky for now and will report if the problem emerges.
