File corrupted on crash reboot. Can someone help diagnose?
I had an email that I was writing to a few people. The computer rebooted itself. I restarted Kmail and found the message window empty. I cd'ed into the directory where it keeps autosaved copies of email being composed and found that it had been overwritten with zero bytes. Fortunately I could recover the content with undo (I've had this happen on Linux and was out of luck). Can someone receive the undo output and the reboot times and figure out what happened? I don't want to post it publicly, as it's a personal email, but I can send it privately to a developer. Pierre -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa

It might have still been in the memory cache for the filesystem. You can try running 'undo -i filename' but you may be out of luck if the file contents isn't available with any of the transaction ids it lists. -Matt Matthew Dillon dil...@backplane.com
