That's bad news, but I seem to recall kernel notes somewhere that in certain
versions of the kernel, ext2 was screwed up. It also seems to not like certain
hardware.
Also, if it's taken you an hour to fsck a 4 GB partition, seems like you're
either running a dog-slow machine, or you've got hardware problems anyway. It
takes me about 20 minutes to run fsck on 25 GB worth of drive space on an AMD
K6-2/266 with 64 MB of RAM.
