I had this problem under 2.1.48 today, whilst copying files between
partitions.

It appeared first on the new partition, /dev/hda2.

Also, the directory usr/ disappeared from the root of /dev/hda10, although
there are no errors for that partition in my log file (see below).
Unmounting and re-mounting cured the problem - usr/ reappeared.

grep EXT2-fs /var/log/linlog
