Short story: I suspect ext3 of possible causing crashes and would like to know the best way to disable as much of it as possible without reformatting my disk.
Longer story: I recently got a new 80G ATA disk, and cloned my debian install onto an ext3 journaled file system on it. Now some programs that move lots of data seg fault sometimes, causing subsequent ls to hang or my machine to lock up completely. I think the kernel may be needing to do special work to compensate for my bios not knowing about really big drives, because older kernels didn't see the whole of even my 40G drive, and my bios giives me an update ESCD successful (or something like that) on every bootup.
