These are exactely the kind of faults that I've been getting. This is
with a 2.4.2 kernel. Just to let you know, 2.4.3 refused to compile (I
suspect there was some corruption of the source code), so because things
were getting worse, I tarred up /home and plonked it on a spare partition
and have now started a fresh, going back to potato (with long overnight
upgrades) and ext2.
I'm not gonna try reiserfs until at least 2.4.8 if not later. I'll also
be very interested to see how work with ext3 develops as there is a
certain amount of safety built in to ext3 in that if it fails, the
filing system reverts back to ext2 and so severly limits any damage.
ho hum. Live and learn...
