[Emanem <em4n3m@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think I'm suffering from the same issue.
I was archiving my home in 1 tar file from 1 disk to another (all EXT4) and then it got stuck. I had to restart the computer and eventually it proceeded, but I have to say, after I copy large files, the chances I can't read/open other large files are high.

Basically as long as I don't copy/manipulate large files I don't have
particular issues; as soon as I try to do such operations I have to
restart my pc.

I'm using:
2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 21:17:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have to say I have a pretty vanilla Ubuntu, no customization. I'm thinking about Ext4 issue because 6 months ago all my disks were Ext2 and never had an issue, but now looks like an issue after another.
Did a memcheck and it seems definitely ok.

Unfortunately it's very hard to reproduce systematically.

Cheers

Bug description:
  There are worrying reports of filesystem corruption on ext4 in karmic.
  Scott says:

  12:36 < Keybuk> this whole ext4 thing is worrying me
  12:36 < Keybuk> I just downloaded an iso image, md5sum didn't match
  12:36 < Keybuk> downloaded it into an ext3 partition, matched just fine
  12:59 < Keybuk> and I know mvo has seen bugs with corrupted .debs in /var/cache/apt/archives
  12:59 < Keybuk> which seems to imply its any file large enough to use lots of extents

  I'm opening this bug report so that this bug gets tracked & triaged
  for karmic.  If we're unable to isolate the issue, we should consider
  rolling back to ext3 as the default filesystem in the installer.
