The default ext3 journal size is inappropriately small, btw. Normally you should manually make it 128M or so, rather than 32M.

Mounting as ext2 is a useful technique for determining whether the fs is getting in the way. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
