I have some 7720 bridges that I've used for testing and for installing DVD
writers on my TT. I've not seen that problem, but I'm not sure if I ever used
an ext2 filesystem with them [I did have a 137GB FAT32 drive on the SCSI port
for a few days though]. What firmware level are the bridges at? When I've
finished reorganising my gear (moving it all to the same (large) room), I'll
see if I can reproduce your problem.
