Yeah, sorry, I didn't have network access when I looked at your e-mail, and so I didn't see the stack trace until you pointed at the mail message again. Because you mentioned a USB stick, I assumed it was the problem with a USB stick getting pulled or being loose causing an I/O error leading to an oops problem, and I missed the hint of the problem occurring in the ext3 code when you were using an ext2 formattem. Fortunately when Geert reported the bug a second time, I was less dense at the time, and figured it out quickly. :-) - Ted
