Yea, I haven't rebooted in a while... Might be time soon. Here is a copy of an email I sent to the ext3 mailing list:

And if you're using 64-bit file systems, you really really want to upgrade to 1.42.7 --- especially if you are ever thinking of using resize2fs; we fixed a number of very serious bugs, some of which could destroy file systems if you try to do off-line resizes. See the release notes for more details: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html#1.42.7 Regards, - Ted
