I tested another 8 hours,
messages like this appeared several times, nearly all Filesystems
remounted readonly, so I switched back to see if the problem will go away.
Now after 36 hours uptime with 1.3.59+Alan6 this problem didn't apear again.
I'm a little bit surprised, 'cause I can't remember a bigger change
to ext2 in the version between Alan6 and 1.3.64.
There was a little change in NCR53c7,8xx, but that is no real change.

Any Ideas ?

so double.
