Linux RAID Corruption Bug

[SilverLeaf]

Just a heads up to any of you using RAID under Linux with EXT4 and a current stable kernel. Looks like a patch is in the works. More info here:

Is anybody using kernel v.4 in production? (And it only affects RAID0.)

This was more of a heads-up to those who use Linux for their personal and/or shop infrastructure. Plus, If it affects RAID 0, it would likely also affect nested/hybrid RAID as well, like RAID 01, 03, 10, and so on. Fortunately, I switched to the LTS kernel option several years back, so this problem didn't affect me personally.
