the snapshot being used is from Dec  4, so i'd guess
it is Revision 1.169

background:
i am trying to run an e2fsck on an 120G ext2 partition on that
usb external disk and it just stops reading from the disk at
random positions.  for example it gets up to 30% of pass 1,
then it just stops.  no read errors in dmesg, nohing just
idling. eventually the disk spins down.  top says it's in
'biowait'.  (it could also be a bug in e2fsck)

this is a go-between disk between a windows machine and
openbsd. windows seems to have no problems with it so far..


another strange thing is, that while the partition isn't
clean (i can never finish the fsck), it is being mounted
by mount from hotplugd when i connect it..
