Hello all,
I know that this is pretty useless, but.
I was just reading my mail when the power went out. There were some
important mails there. At the time, they were in /var/mail/dtutty
On reboot, it said that it was replaying the journal (ext3) for /var
with no errors reported.
After reboot,
Thanks all,
I'll try data=journal on all filesystems except /var/tmp (/tmp is
tmpfs).
I wasn't at the computer when the power failed, although I had just
finished with mutt. Perhaps 30 seconds had elapsed between exiting and
the power failure. Mutt would have overwritten the file when it exited

No
The question is, why did I lose the data? Isn't the journal in ext3
supposed to prevent this from

Hello,
I have an unusual situation and problem at which I've been chipping

My wife is sensitive to what she describes as electromagnetic fields.
