I totally agree with several answers here. We have used Linux in z for more than 10 years and I can not remember any filesystem corrupt (unless I messed it up myself:) ) SLES8-SLES11, ext2,ext3,jfs and xfs all works fine. But some has better options, rezise online and such nice things.

Linux is pretty close to state of the art -- *for the Unix world.* AIX, HP-UX and Solaris are not much (if any) better. Tandems are better -- but they're not mainstream Unix *at all* and they're *really* weird. Linux isn't (and won't ever be) as reliable as z/OS, and it won't progress in that direction(at least for a very, very long time) until we start demanding very detailed instrumentation capabilities that it took z/OS more than 40 years to acquire. We're dealing with different design points, and at the moment, "good enough" is exactly that. As I commented in my other note (and others agreed), the corruption you're seeing is not normal to Linux; it's something going on in your environment that is doing something behind Linux' back. I'd concentrate your effort on killing that problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
