3rd Fedora disk curdle

2007-12-27 Thread Gerard J. Cerchio
In the short time I have been working with olpc I have had my Fedora VMware machines curdle their ext3 disks 3 times. I have been running 2.4 and 2.6 Redhats and Debians for over a year with no such problems. Once the first Fedora 7 machine broke its disk I have been very careful to shutdown
