Stan, you are still a XFS expert, you are still a hardware expert, and I = love reading your posts at debian-user, I sometimes even search for those, = you still know a lot and heck you are still Stan and as such without any = achievement or knowledge at all a precious being. Just like anyone else on this list (and elsewhere) is a precious being just = as they are. So whats so difficult with admitting that what you wrote about Ext4 and = journal replay as at least misleading? Heck, even I was confused at first. Cause the manpage of fsck.ext4 IMHO is = not really clear about that topic to say the least. I tested it out for a = reason. I am concerned about the tendency I perceive in open source, heck general = computer communities to bind own value to being right on a topic. There is = no, absolutely no connection at all. You and everyone else is valuable and = precious without any prerequisite at all. I also take some to learn out of this myself: Cause I was obsessed with = being right myself and bound my value to it as well. I have overdone my = previous mails. Sorry for that.
