The mandrake newsgroup has been full of concerns about the stability of ext3 recently - it's getting quite religious :) The file you can't remove isn't the journal database by any chance? IIRC ext3 is ext2 filesystem with an extra logging database. I know the reiser is a very early version on M7.1 - it was the only distro that supported it in the kernel that early. As I said, I'll go to Debian in a while.
