Who is Colonel Panic and why did he crash my computer? :-P
Anyway, I had a kernel panic, which ended up destroying my ReiserFS partition. I had to rebuild the tree from scratch as reiserfsck recommended, and I ended up with my complete Gentoo install in the lost+found folder. I salvaged what I wanted (distfiles and some configuration files from /etc) to make re-installation much easier, and instead of renaming all the folders and moving them back into place (impossible, anyway), I'm going to reformat and re-install everything from scratch. Right now, I'm having PartitionMagic 8.0 check each sector of the disk, to see if it was a hardware problem. (It'd better not be, I bought this disk not even a year ago!) I might go with ReiserFS again, because no filesystem is perfect, but Reiser comes very close to it despite this latest problem. I'm also considering JFS, but I can't find any comments about it. Has anyone on this list had any experience with JFS as a general-purpose file system, and would you recommend it over ReiserFS 3.6? -- Colin -- [email protected] mailing list
