It doesn't belong here, nor does it have anything to do with security. I will continue to correct some flat out incorrect information though.
FAT32 corruption has nothing to do with the drivers implementing it - it's a fundamental weakness of a file allocation table based file system. 99% of the time corruption happens when you bork an operation, usually due to a power outage or system crash during a write. When that happens, you have to scan and repair. NTFS is more resilient to this kind of damage because of the way file mappings are maintained. For more resiliency, we use journaling or transaction based file systems. And yes, certifications are useless. > Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2009 18:13:03 -0500 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Available > > Does this conversation really belong in the HLDS mailing list?
