Is it possible to fix this issue? from the description it seems to me 
that the issue got worse since freebsd 5.3 (assuming Maxi's root 
partition is ufs2).

On a freebsd 5.3 box I am confronted with the ext2/ext3 issue as well, 
but it does not affect my root partition (ufs2).

While this issue is affecting me only temporarely (I am waiting for a 
new RAID subsystem to migrate the data from ext3 to ufs2 and kiss Linux 
goodbye), I think it is an unacceptable issue in a production grade 
operating system.

Thanks in advance to the knowledgeable person that will look into this 
and fix it.
