I had the same thing happen recently, random file corruption on an ext3
partition then lost the entire partition table.
I'm pretty sure the problem was with the hard drive tho, not ext3 as I
had a second, identical IBM hd fail completely at the same time.
(Third drive, a western digital was fine)
FWIW, a friend who sells systems tells me he's seeing an awful lot of
bad Fujitsu drives right now...
