I had a big RAID5 the other day where one disk too many died and I had to reconstruct from two current disks and one that was a month out of date. I now have 35000 files (mostly junk, year-old deleted files and all that) in my /lost+found file system, but that's a minor problem. The major Good Thing which happened is that every file which hasn't been touched during the last month is perfectly OK. One of these days I'll check whether ext2fs would survive that kind of abuse, but I seriously doubt it... -- Matthias Urlichs | noris network AG | http://smurf.noris.de/
