Hi Varun , thanks for your so promptly response . Is Reiser FS is better than ext3 FS in terms of less corrupted data due to unclean shutdown and fast recovery ? because some time , ext3 remains still in unstable state after running fsck. so i have to backup all data then reinstallation of linux .however it happens rarely. regards Ritesh Agarawal _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
