Interesting. I have ext2fs partitions in the same size range for the same purpose under 8-CURRENT and I don't have the problems you described, so it's unlikely the problem were introduced in 7. Did you run e2fsck on the file systems? Can you verify there is no hardware or driver data corruption (though I don't know how would you verify this one - maybe by writing to the partition from one OS and reading from the other, amd using md5 to check)?
