Yup, seems it was ... reformated the drive to ext2 and restarted coda,
seems to work better now ... the first write request from a client
(that was still running from before the reboot) resulted in an error,
but subsequented seem to work fine, too ... OK, now to the more
complex testing with two servers mirroring the data ...

Tnx for now for the support ...
