Oops. I guess I was a bit too confused myself. :) 1. Errors on /home in syslog, cron jobs running wild with i/o failures system kept running for a couple days because nobody was there=20 to fix it, though Those errors were probably caused by power outages and=20 a non-data-logging ReiserFS kernel. 2. Backup what's left of /home to firewire harddisk. 3. Update to 2.4.23 with Chris' patches for data logging/quota 4. Repartition hda2..4 (was needed anyway for drbd),=20 reformat new /home (drbd), restore /home on drbd device 5. crash of the server overnight, reboot (don't know why yet) 6. couldn't reboot because root partition was totally b0rken 7. reiserfsck --rebuild-tree under Knoppix, killed a couple files 8. still running Knoppix, secondary server took over and is running now btw: Is there a "reiserfs stress test" kind of thing to make sure a configuration works before sending it two time zones away for production? I plan on doing that in the next couple weeks. =3D;) Would bonnie++ accomplish this or are there better tests? --=20 Jens Benecke (jens at spamfreemail.de) http://www.hitchhikers.de - Europaweite kostenlose Mitfahrzentrale http://www.spamfreemail.de - 100% saubere Postf=E4cher - garantiert! http://www.rb-hosting.de - PHP ab 9? - SSH ab 19? - g=FCnstiger Traffic
