Yes. I've been reporting this. My guess is that something is not being
completely written to the disk during dismount (umount). But if you
see memory corruption (which I don't see), it may be something entirely
different. I'm still using 2.1.105, but with these patches:
ext2_trunc105-patch
mmap_105-patch
nfsd_105-patch
Cheers,
