i've been running it on my laptop since december. i've had numerous flat batteries and other rebootworthy lockups (my laptop is pretty dodgy), and haven't noticed any lost data. i had it complain once on journal playback, but it just went in to the full fsck and then picked up from there. i have noticed a big slowdown when the journal fills up and is forced to flush immediately (eg when doing a large apt-get install) - things get very slugish for a bit. under normal use its fine though. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
