Interestingly enough, I'm also seeing ext3 corruption. The usual manifestation is that a program fails to run, with a message about it not being in executable format (if it happens again I will take a note of the exact message). I've had no problems at all with 2.6.17. It seems to be happening randomly, which makes me suspect a race condition (uniprocessor machine, but preemptable kernel), or memory corruption. I will rebuild the kernel with all kernel debugging options turned on, once I recover the filesystem. Ciao, D.
