It sounds like a device-mapper issue. Everything LVM2 and device-mapper do should be transparent to the file system. > I am running Gentoo, LVM2 and device-mapper.

Is / on an LVM2 volume as well? If device-mapper is having issues, I'm not sure that a different file system would handle it any better. However, if there were any syslog messages related to the file system corruption or crash, they could shed some light on this. > TIA Anyone with LVM2 experience, feel free to chime in. :-) Thanks, Shaggy -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
