You know that you link to a page that says there is no ext4 data
corruption? The only way of "corruption" ext4 exhibits, is when
the kernels dies hard, and applications *do not* conform to
posix. (Better, most of those desktop environments seem to be
very badly written).

So any ext4 corruption you can find has to do with bad
applications combined with a hard reboot, there is no real
corruption going on in the filesystem.
