Unless I miss my guess, the discussions you're remembering are *not* filesystem-eats-itself-because-of-power-failure. Every filesystem can become corrupt via hardware failure (CPU or memory errors, etc), or software failures (malware gobbles up critical disk sectors), or human failures. But that's not a reason to believe that snapshotting a running system, or hard-cutting the power leads to filesystem corruption of any kind. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
