Thats one reason I have been looking at btrfs - online fsck. Has been |
| 21 |
solid even on unexpected crashes (I am setting up remote power on/off |
| 22 |
and pressed the wrong button - more than once :) I actually had some |
| 23 |
minor corruption on reiserfs, but btrfs was fine and could be checked |
| 24 |
online anyway in a lot less time than reiserfsck took. |
