Look in your fstab (or vgrep the output of 'mount') and look at the options in parens after the "type ext3" bit: if you don't see "data=journal" (or some other "data=" option) then you are running the default which is "data=ordered", which means you are in the clear. For example: nnorman@aglarond:~ $ mount /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/sda2 on /usr type ext3 (rw,data=journal) /dev/sda4 on /var type ext3 (rw,data=journal) /dev/sda5 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda6 on /var/tmp type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda7 on /home type ext3 (rw) HTH, -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If you don't know what your program is supposed to do, you'd better not start writing it. -- Edsger Dijkstra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
