It was on the reiserfs list a couple of months ago. They told me that it would be impossible to check all data for consistency when reading it from disk without having a huge performance hit. Ext3 appears to manage this (or at least corrupt ext2/3 file systems tend not to cause kernel memory corruption). -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
