I know that this is not an answer to your problem, but I am running 8.1 (with 2.4.8-34.1) with all but my home partition formatted ext3. I am constantly crashing this system due to some usb problem jamming up the shutdown. Thus I am continually recovering those partitions from the journals and have never encountered the problem you are describing. I am just wondering if there is something unique about your system that is causing the problem. In any case, I have not seen it (yet).
