Pls tell me where you are put up. I can possibly sit with you for some time. I now generally use only ext3 file system though I have tried tried other file systems like reiserfs; don't know whether it would add to your problems. I live near Pallimukku, Pettah and work in the Centre for Earth Science studies, Akkulam. Feel free to call on me with your laptop either in my office (usually here from 0900-1700) or at my home. Pls call me on 9447102399. best/harish
