Hi Tanya,

This issue doesn't seem to be easy for me to reproduce as it's only
happened to me once in over 12 months of use.
I don't really have any way to verify that the  '-F' space fixup works
or not, and i'm not sure i can use it...
 according to the man page kernel 3.0 is required, and ii'm running 2.6.35.3.

Is there something in the logs which makes you suspect that this
problem is related to the -F 'fix up free space' mechanism ?
