SubjectRe: Again - inode races [PATCH] Re: Corrupted inode list?
I just had problems of simular nature.  I have not had hardware problems
in the past with this drive or machine. I have however just upgraded to
glibc-2.0. The problems started after when I had a bunch of kernel memory
free pool errors, I have also just started some java development.
Downgrading to 2.0.28 did not help.

Just adding my data-point.
would oop's help?
