Thanks for the suggestions - there is no "i" attribute - it's a problem with the files and not the upper directories since I can delete a similar file in the same directory - fsck -f doesn't find any error on the partition - the partition is mounted rw - it still fails after upgrading the kernel to 2.4.18 I'll submit the bug to the ext3 ml.
