I dont really have that problem, but I do have a problem with fsck
It has happened twice sofar that fsck gives me a memory fault and
dumps core, which is not fun when your filesystem is corrupt.
I had to manually remove the inodes of the files causing the
memory fault (usually big directories) and try again.
Maybe a bug somewhere in fsck?
