I use a journaling filesystem, of course (ext3). If the filesystem gets corrupted, I'll upload an fsck, I can live with that. What I cannot live with is lost logfiles after a reset performed by a user because Internet access didn't work. Which means log.lrp doesn't help me. > Although there are solutions by choosing ext2/3, jfs, vfat and > the like and providing special fs-check packages, an option to > select a persistant device in the base linuxrc without an user > knowing the drawbacks can give strange problems. I basically read here "lets not provide this feature, users are too stupid to use it correctly". I'd rather write a recommendation in the doc that journalling filesystems should be used. Note that people who have space to save their logs usually also have space for jfs.o and ext3.o > There is always the option to use a loghost to store the LEAF > logfiles. And this seems a better option to me. Sure, if you have a loghost available...
