Even once a day is too much and too long with the module loading clusterfucks that distro's default kernels and initrds are (not to mention the random ordering of devices without the infestation of udev). > (Everything, minus swap > and an ext2 nosuid,usrquota /tmp, is xfs nonetheless.) And > so on. XFS aka. eXtremely Futile System. It's the most brain-damaged file system I have ever met; the most pointless file system I know of. Could someone please tell me, what's the _fucking point_ in a journalling file system that requires UPS? Isn't journalling supposed to help to recover from crashes? XFS _deliberately_ loses data on crash -- and not just a few minutes worth of it, as would be case with a non-journalling file system, but _days_ (years -- all open files?) worth of it. That's just fucking pointless. If all the files are full of zero-bytes, what the fuck does it matter if the metadata is intact? (Yes, I've lost a lot of data thanks to XFS. Never again will I be misled to trying out such utter and total _shit_, no matter how fast and shiny the über-geeks claim it to be.) -- Tuomo
