Hello, thanks for your info. That means it is a bug in ext3. It seems to ignore the errors=continue mount option, although according to the manpage it should support all the options that ext2 does. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce this exact behaviour, however I am able to produce a filesystem error and make ext3 remount the filesystem read-only, while ext2 continues on an error. Here is what happens with ext2:
