I would, but only in the context I framed it in. Read-only disks, shared between z/VM guests (or I guess you could do it in LPARs. Aiee!) If you try to use ext3 in those situations, bad things happen. Most often, ugly error messages in the system log when a system tries to write to the journal, or replay it, etc. Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
