Moving to other FS is not an option. BTRFS that format is not yet completed/fully defined, has elementary fsck when not giving needed features. ZFS using FUSE is not going to happened on that critical host. Kernel was a 3.7 and have been updated to longterm-stable 3.10 kernel. There are been a lot of fixes on EXT and VFS between 3.7 and 3.10. We stick on longterm kernel on all hosts, that one was the last not using a longterm stable. > Regardless of filesystem type, determining the cause of the corruption > should be attempted and corrected first if possible.

In my experience too and it was designed like this at the beginning before moving to qcow2 files argued by others people that it make easier administration, which what I still don't agree and add another layer of abstraction (with more cache, and sync issues). > And of course, a simple nightly rsync of stuff that matters should be > setup... but you know that quite well now :( That's what is done using other tools than rsnapshot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
