SubjectRe: [BUG] + [PATCH]: handling bad inodes in 2.4.x kernels

but a corrupted filesystem should not change the behaviour of the entire
kernel. write-opening a bad inode should not end up with the effect that
the rename() syscall does not work anymore, i wasn't even able to securely
shut down by box everytime that happend.
