Thanks for the tip. 

Odd thing booting up Knoppix, unmounting the drive and running fsck.jfs seems 
to clear up the problem, at least for a reboot or two of lunar. I thought it 
may have something to do with the lin process. Though googling around I found 
some SUSE folks that encountered the same but those were old posts.

If I'm understanding some of those posts correctly, this sort of thing was 
supposed to have been fixed. Lunar (as of last night) was using 
jfsutils-1.1.1 which does have a date of around the same timeframe.

I did find on the kerneltrap something related to 2.6.0 ( 
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/819 )

So for the time being I bumped jfstuils from 1.1.1 to 1.1.3 and see how that 
goes. The system is lining kde right now, will let you know how it goes 
later.

"Trying"? My contribution was much closer to a "feeble wave in the general 
direction of something that might lead you one step closer to a solution 
if you squint really hard and do all of the work."
