Maybe it really does get a fatal corrutpion with a bit or byte memory error sooner than ext3 ... can't really compare :) But reiserfsck did some real magic for me at least once ... when i thought the fs was toasted, it nicely put it back together again, lost a few megs and put ~2gb into /lost+found (out of ~480gb). The only thing that's a bit problematic right now is the time fsck takes on bushy trees like cyrus spool. -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org/ --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
