Filesystem Corruption on an OldWorld Mac

I am having a major issue with filesystem corruption on a Maxtor 60gig
ATA hard drive. I have had my third run through of fsck for two ext3
filesystems I setup. One is a root partition, the othe is for /var.

The first symptom is that I start getting errors about writing to the
filesystem and complaints that the FS is "read-only". I then reboot
and fsck fails and I have to run fsck from the Gentoo CD. There does
not seem to be a particular issue. I get lots of duplicate blocks,
inodes with too many bad blocks, etc.

I definitely suspect something with the ext3 FS. I have it in the
kernel (I am running 2.6.9, I think). Can anyone put me on the track
to fixing this? Is there any information I can provide?

If I can get my logs back (/var was the latest victim, I can post some
msgs from the kernel log).

Thanks,

Ben Ricker
