Its a bloody unstable mess in a production environment (as I alluded to above). I've used it twice on boxes, and had a nightmarish experience both times. One was a production server that self-corrupted itself. The other was a laptop that i left unplugged, and forgot about overnight. Needless to say, it lost power, and the file system was swiss cheese afterwards. I'm sorry, a *real* journaling filesystem shouldn't require a fsck from something as basic as a loss of power. I've powered off boxes with XFS just for kicks, and they were back up as quickly as if they were properly rebooted. THat is what a real journaling filesystem does. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
