one thing to note is that xfs is very good at detecting on-disk
corruption, not sure ext3 will be as good.  So ext3 may seem to run
finer, longer, even if there is an underlying problem.

well, it'd be great to have an isolated testcase, if you can reproduce
it succinctly.

Also I don't know what exact kernel ubuntu uses or what patches are in
it; you might try a stock upstream kernel w/ the same config,
2.6.27.$LATEST, and see if you continue to have problems.
