Just a general note: File system corruption, like outright crashes, are never the fault of application- / user-level code, even if such code reliably triggers the untoward symptom. So if there's some kind of interaction between the pattern of use produced by this version of YaST and XFS, the culpability cannot be said to lie with YaST. For the record, I've been using XFS since whatever version of SuSE it was (9.something early, I think) that required you to provide the XFS driver via floppy 'cause it was accidentally left out of the kernel on the installer. It has given me no trouble whatsoever, and I live in an area that is prone to a few power failures each year. There were two just a couple of weeks ago on the same day, and my file systems survived just fine. (And yes, I'm shopping for a UPS...) By the way, Kenneth, you're putting a reply-to header in that directs replies back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unless that was deliberate, it looks like some kind of copy-and-modify error that occurred when you set up you opensuse-factory mail folder.
