They do - as I discovered when researching this problem. Though they |
| 10 |
also say the problem may have been fixed as it was awhile ago - and this |
| 11 |
system has been fine except for occasional minor problems from power |
| 12 |
failures (such as burning power supplies :) since 2004-5 when it was |
| 13 |
first built. |

That being said, it would be nice to separate the recordings and backups |
| 16 |
though one large partition makes for easier management. And there is |
| 17 |
the fact that some maintenance patches to reiserfs mean I cant use |
| 18 |
kernels 2.6.29-30 (oops's) - though a trial of a vanilla .31-rc worked |
| 19 |
fine so I am waiting until thats out. |
