Comment 572 for bug 620074

Another attempt to narrow down the use case for the issue.
You are not going to get anywhere if you continue reporting issues against all of the different breeds of Linuxes. You never know how Fedora or Knoppix patched the kernel, and you should report issues with their kernels to them instead of posting your observations here.

As I see it the only way to trace down the issue is to use the same version of VANILLA kernel (preferably the latest) with different build and runtime configs.
I personally have ext3 compiled in the kernel - could it be the reason why I can't reproduce the issue?

Zenith88: would it take you a lot of effort to produce the latest not patched vanilla kernel with ext3 compiled into it and to see if it makes things any better for you?
