In fact my previous system was running on a ReiserFS partition, and now i'm
running on an ext3 one.... Since I still have that system on my hd, I'll
give it a try and see what happens....

Too bad Hans Reiser got those problems with his wife... His FS is very good,
and if someone doesn't buy his company, I'm afraid we'll lose a very good
FS....
