Using centos 5.8.
I have a 250GB internal and a 250GB external in an ext3 LVM. Until a few days ago I noticed my box kept randomly rebooting. I finally learned it seems to be an issue with the usb external drive.
The moment I connect it, the screen gets spammed with, hfs: unable to parse mount options, until it reboots.
