XFS dealt with this long ago. Hmmm, I remember having had similar issues with XFS not to long ago, where = at least some KDE configuration were lost or truncated. It seems = applications will have to get rid of behavioral assumptions regation = filesystem and use safe writing via fsync and whatever else for = configuration and other important files. I am thinking about a bug report for KDE at least. -- = Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
