I must say that when reiserfs gets the power taken out from under it, you don't half end up with your recently worked on files containing pieces of each other. With data journalling, this would not be a problem; although of course files could end up in a half-updated state, which to a given application may as well be corrupted. It would be a bit slower, unless your journal is on a seperate device, but that can't be helped. -- Sam Vilain, sam@vilain.net WWW: http://sam.vilain.net/ 7D74 2A09 B2D3 C30F F78E GPG: http://sam.vilain.net/sam.asc 278A A425 30A9 05B5 2F13 You've one mouth and two ears...use them in that proportion. - anon.
