I seem to remember that the OTA update does not support ext3, but I don't have KT3 now, so I can't test it.
Ah, but you evidently never restarted your KT3 ...
The start-up process will discover the "corrupted" (ext3) storage area and reformat it to FAT32 for you.
(And then when the kernel starts up, it will not find the FAT32 setting in /etc/fstab and crash.)
Isn't Amazon so helpful?
