Yes, I'm now using 5.x/6.x everythere I have a linux partitions, I
remeber those days I've used fbsd 4.x with ext2 partition, everything

Actually this problem lives here for a long time, as far as I remeber myself
started using 5.x, I remember this problem exists. This is one of very
few things which annoys me in 5.x/6.x :)
