***********************************************************************
Now for the problem. I used fdisk to remove the msdos partitions on sda and
sdb and then created ext2 ones. Then I ran mke2fs on them both at same time
on diferent pages. Said behavior didn't occur under 2.0.27 (I skipped
2.0.28 and 2.0.29)
