I have some 7720 bridges that I've used for testing and for installing DVD 
writers on my TT.  I've not seen that problem, but I'm not sure if I ever used 
an ext2 filesystem with them [I did have a 137GB FAT32 drive on the SCSI port 
for a few days though].  What firmware level are the bridges at?  When I've 
finished reorganising my gear (moving it all to the same (large) room), I'll 
see if I can reproduce your problem.
