Yes. :-) It's a bug that has been there forever, but for some reason the timing has changed in the current ext3 (probably due to a locking change made for other reasons), and the bug is showing up much more than on older kernels. It's fixed in the 2.4.18-4 errata announced last week. Cheers, Stephen
