There are two ways that can happen. One was fixed in 2.4.18-4smp, the other was fixed fairly recently. > Is this a known bug? I hope so --- it's impossible to be 100% sure that what you encountered was exactly the same as what we fixed, but there's a good chance it is. > RedHat bugs in 2.4.18-3.

No, 2.4.19 froze before all of those fixes were complete. 2.4.19-ac has more of the ext3 updates, and I've got just final testing to do before flushing the rest to Marcelo for 2.4.20. The latest is in ext3's cvs (ext3-1_0-branch), which I updated to 2.4.20-pre3 yesterday. --Stephen
