I guess that the data is still being committed to the journal. Anyway, may laman yung config file, so I wonder why can't StarOffice or OpenOffice find the file... I'll try reverting the /home back to ext3. Then if doesn't wreck... revert ko ulit to XFS. >Ooh, you may want to share this with the XFS list.

The XFS developers normally ask this first >and foremost, and then ask what it said. Yes. yung XFS utility to repair an XFS filesystem (since fsck.xfs does NOTHING and is documented to do NOTHING). I checked the generated lost+found --> walang laman. And no error message generated (normal pass lang sya then it generated a lost+found directory). >Now we're talking.

Might work. yes. both local and net-wide install (kahit saan either in /usr or /home). Paolo Falcone __________________________________ www.edsamail.com _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
