Hi,

i currently facing a problem in our testing environment where I see file
system corruption with 2.7.1 on iSCSI and Local Storage (LVM).
Trying to bisect, but has anyone observed this before?
The information here is too scarce to tell but a file corruption is more often a
result of two writers modifying the disk concurrently. Have you ruled that out?
Is the corruption reproducible?

My issue was primary with iSCSI and I cut bisect it. I already send a patch to 
the list:

    block/iscsi: avoid data corruption with cache=writeback

    nb_cls_shrunk in iscsi_allocmap_update can become -1 if the
    request starts and ends within the same cluster. This results
    in passing -1 to bitmap_set and bitmap_clear and they don't
    handle negative values properly. In the end this leads to data
    corruption.

However, one user also reported corruption with LVM. I will check if he uses 
virtio-scsi.

Thanks,
Peter
