Re: ext3 - corrupt
Hmmm, interesting. I had the same problem with an ext3 partition on a
Maxtor drive. Got to the point where I had to re-install. I was using
kernel version 2.4.17 at the time. I think the problem is with ext3.
Since I re-installed and went back to ext2 on the same drives, I've had
no further problems. I've also gone through kernel versions 2.4.18 and
currently on 2.4.19. I might add, however, I have had ext3 on my laptop
since 2.4.17 with no problems. Besides different drives, there is only
one partition on the laptop, whereas my desktop has 4.(not including
swap). I don't know about you, but I'm steering clear of ext3 until
some time in kernel 2.6.x, -mk
