So unless you're manually making 1K filesystems with mkfs, you wouldn't have been bitten by this. Just to be sure, the fix got checked into the final FC6 kernel this morning.
Got a /boot with 1 kB block size on one machine and on another a file system with 2 kB block size. Looking forward to the fixed kernel.
Interesting. Did anaconda make those that way for you, or did you do that by hand somehow?
To be sure to be sure :-)
I'll be amazed if you manage to hit this bug in that scenario. After booting, /boot is rarely read again, and this needs gigs and gigs of I/O. It took several hours to trigger on my test box with really fast disks.
