One more thing, I just found this message from July from someone seeing a similar problem: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/27/305 I am also running reiserfs, so I wonder if that has something to do with this. Unlike the other poster, though, I am running an unmodified kernel and have not seen the error he saw in the system logs.
