Hi,
I wouldn't blame Plan 9 for damaging another partition it shouldn't
even touch. I'd blame ReiserFS. I heard several stories from friends
and collegues who used ReiserFS about file system corruption. You
might want to use your favorite search engine, but from my point of
view ReiserFS isn't stable enough for everydays use.
The alternatives are either called ext3 or jfs, I suppose. XFS is
nice, too, but it tends to corrupt the file system in case of a sudden
system crash (e.g. after power fail), especially on heavy loaded file
systems.
Yes, I heard that also about ReiserFS. But practically, I've lost
files using ext3 (I used it for some months). Too many, so I stopped
using it. I've never lost files using ReiserFS (since years of usage)
until this week - and only two tmp files were lost. About XFS, which I
used for a year or so, had namely the problem of sudden system crash.
The filesystem didn't get corrupted, but simply some files (mostly
important ones) were blank after reboot.
About blaming Plan9... I only wanted to help catching an important
problem, if the problem is there. This way I planned giving as much
information as possible. Sorry if my words sound like a blame - my
English is poor, and I often miss those writting nuances.
Regards,
