Huh? Where in my post do I question the speed of recovery of journaled filesystems on a hard reboot? You state that fsck is not necessary for a journaled FS on reboot. Journaled FSs, although robust, are not 100% immune to corruption on hard reboot/powerfailure. When it happens you will have to fsck them. Perhaps, you have been lucky so far to not have encountered them. I have had to fsck ext3, reiserfs, jfs FS's that would simply not mount on reboot. I don't want people to get a false idea that fsck is not necessary on a journaled FS. -- Arun Khan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux is a wigwam: No Windows, No Gates, Apache inside. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
