Nope. But I discovered this morning as backups were attempting to run that
the filesystem apparently has corruption - I have a few files that
suddenly have apparent sizes and ownership info in the absurd range:

-rw-r--r--    1 2439249920 136118272 584782831260017978 Aug 14  2003 redhat-config-xfree86.mo

lrwxr-xr-x    1 543621120 1920139264       13 Nov 16 09:12 K50tux

I also discovered that my inode handlers are apparently leaking. This 
looks like a combination of kernel and/or filesystem problems.
