Thank you Andre and Frank for your prompt and very informative 
responses. I' m having other weird issues with F16 freshly installed 
copying my backup back through USB:
- transfer speed decreasing from 30 MB/s down to 5 MB/s very quickly
- the machine taken down to its knees after about 30 minutes of copying 
(I'm trying to copy ~90GB). The laptop is 5 years old (dual core 2Ghz) 
with 2GB of ram. I'll check on bugzilla and will try to install Rawhide 
differently, check how USB copying performs and so on.

Thanks again.
