DO NOT use noflushd. Noflushd captures all write access to the hd 
which is a very bad idea. Even sync is captured. If you set 
noflushd to 30 min.  and have a crash after 29 min. then you will 
lose 29 min of data. No journal can help you out of this.

Try using the laptop mode patch which captures write activity but 
force flushes all data on a timeout. the lm patch actively tries to 
group write access to receive long spindown times. That should work 
even with ext3.

Linux was and still is server oriented. Many programs dont like 
laptops.. :-(
