I think most of the mainstream filesystems support this equally well. Not sure though. > 2) easy undeleting of files Undeleting files shouldn't be part of a "strategy". At best, it's a last resort. If it actually works, it's a *lucky* last resort. A combination of backing up your important files (always a good idea), setting rm to be interactive, and/or using the recycle bin/trashcan on your desktop instead of a permanent deletion would be a much better way to go. Faubackup is pretty easy, if you want a *very* low maintenance backup solution. Basically, you just edit it's config file for how many snapshots you want to keep as backups (the last week, or the last three weeks, or every month in the last year, etc.), and then edit the cron script for which directories to backup. You'll then get a backup directory that keeps files from those times. If you delete a file, just go to the backup directory, and retrieve yesterday's copy. If you need copies from the last five-to-thirty minutes, and it's a text file, that's what editor backup files are usually for. Most of all though: be careful! :D > ext2? ext3? ReiserFS? JFS? Personally, I prefer XFS. ReiserFS is a good choice too, but I still have stability concerns regarding Reiser. -- Lee. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
