SubjectRe: ext2 fs not properly updated upon dismount.

Maybe corruption only occurs when disks are dismounted and system is
being rebooted?

In my last email I mentioned problems with hdc (in addition of the root
ones you describe). Got tired of them after losing some more files, and
this `ugly thing' looks like fixes both umounting hdc and root (YMMV).. no
more errors so far.

.. Of course, before I thought it was the memory and it wasnt..
