Sorry to hear this. I cannot recommend using ext4 in Linux 2.6.32.

Thanks for your reply Ben.

As an aside, from what kernel version would you recommend use of ext4 in?

Maybe I should use (tried and rusted) ext3 for my backup devices. I mentioned this problem in my local LUG and a couple of people reported similar problems with ext4.
