Nope, everything works fine. On another system recetnly the journal replay was |
| 24 |
used to fix a system that lost power inadvertently. It was the first |
| 25 |
time I noticed reiserfs 'self-healing' or fixing a problem. That |
| 26 |
got me wondering, as the older file systems use to repair quite |
| 27 |
often and ever 6months to a year, I'd my running fsck and such, |
| 28 |
manually..... |

No problems, just curious if I has something was wrong with my reiserfs. |
