Sure. Maybe both topics are unrelated. I can't tell.

Well, that's exactly the reason why I am awaiting some more days of
up-and-running ext3. After how many days will you be convinced that a random
memory corruption should have hit the ext3 system that bad, that it should have
crashed?
I can add another week if you want me to, just tell me. The only thing I don't
want is that any doubts are left after testing ...
Still, current 2 days uptime is early stage, so let's give it some more time.
