Okay, everybody, thanks for all the input! Since this is a server in my office, I couldn't test until I arrive in my office. I'm now (just) arrived in my office, and I will try the following: 1. Create Reiserfs on a different partition, and 2. Create a different fs on the problematic partition. I'll report back with what happened. Rgds, --
