it tends to be resetting ( refscking ) mmc card.
btw. in os 2006 ext2/3 filesystem support is missing,
is it to be re-added? 

also, will there be full-scale mount and losetup
tools available with 2006? 

While using 2005 edition i had several problems using
custom built loopback device tools. The filesystem
i mounted via loopback device worked well, but when i 
tended to write there some data, it made 770 reboot.
Because of that - i have a question, is fs i/o sync by default?
Maybe the problem is synchronous i/o which loopback device can't
handle well...
