Don't presume that because it's EXT3 that fscks are no longer necessary. Only thing the journal guarantees is that your metadata won't become corrupt (i think journal=3Ddata mount option fixes this but will affect performance and not neccessarily badly). If your filesystem has been shutdown cleanly many many times you could still has some loss. A fsck should take care of that. >and then everything would be ok? or is there more that need to be done? take backups. take backups. take backups. take backups. :-) > >Is this a complicated process that i might just as well avoid in order not >to damage my data? Or is this pretty straightforward? It's pretty straight forward. Did I mention to make sure you have backups? Oh and the other concern is that you want to make sure you backup before you get carried away ;-) Can you tell my tape drive has saved my life and my job once or twice ;-) --=20 Ben Lutgens | http://people.sistina.com/~blutgens/=09 System Administrator | http://www.sistina.com/ Sistina Software Inc. |=20 "I got a wife and kids too but you don't see me out here stealing Imperial Droids now do ya?" --qtZFehHsKgwS5rPz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBPP0jn2mpewRYVtAFAQLuJgf/eUNPnT/YAil8IU+4eNjA1nIeDD5agJH4 UBpGvDsxw073v2n4lN2JuZZjPc7uK+xPxfwRv9TYZQ30jc8waZcGR2wMAki8IR21 Bpb+5hp9AXM0XOfoXzxMKITBEE2s8XgLfLKXU3YKoqqRbIiyCGkUEOV57163eVEB ccdY193sPNaCKSeuGBcFjfth/v4xMFcrdh33tmbr9lHYuCO0LTKfswspYSWUJ/Ew +biOuzOBL6eyjoE/+Cn396sfl6MlYQ5p/jqRPOGVegfBWyXwUW4Hhm7K9cgdiLsE An84M3qrGMj3OkX+5CnLTyc9tWOgSYL/i55ixfm1OBRtNcsSgT6q1Q== =uRUI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qtZFehHsKgwS5rPz--
