I'll try applying ext3-2.4-0.9.17-2418p3 against that and see what happens. This patch was designed for 2.4.18-pre. I hope there's no problems in applying it to 2.4.18-10. I'll also install the latest e2fsprogs. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the reply. /Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
