Hi Chris, so... the worst-case impact on this bug is that reiserfs will report "disk full" when you still have some space available. Right? No data loss, corruption, or similar Bad Things(tm)? I have two servers here that are supposed to be deployed next week and use ReiserFS. I've had some bad issues with MySQL files becoming corrupted after a crash in the past so I'd really like to put these into production with data-logging patches. btw, what are the patches that SuSE uses? IIRC, SuSE ships with data-logging enabled, right? -- Jens Benecke ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.hitchhikers.de - Europaweite kostenlose Mitfahrzentrale http://www.spamfreemail.de - 100% saubere Postfächer - garantiert! http://www.rb-hosting.de - PHP ab 9? - SSH ab 19? - günstiger Traffic
