I have experienced data corruption on 2 different systems using ext4 on flash media. One of the drives was an Intel SSD drive and the other was a SanDisk Cruzer USB flash drive. I reproduced the problem several times with the both of these drives on two different hardware systems. Here's how I reproduced the problem:

1. Install Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit on USB flash drive...
   - /boot ext2 500MB (primary)
   - swap 500MB (primary)
   - / ext4 rest-of-drive (primary)

2. Install latest updates with Update Manager.

3. Reboot and observe corruption.

I have repeated a similar experiment on Fedora 12 with no file-system corruption.
