You really *do* speak out of my mind ;-) Well, I share the same oppinions |

about these FSs and have the same fs setups as you (obviousely!). |

This confused me the first time I wanted to growfs my /home; However, it has |
| 19 |
been a little bit funny aswell, as ext3 (originally) only supported offline |
| 20 |
growings. |

However, I once have (accidently!) thrown down one harddrive of mine from |
| 23 |
within 60cm distance down while moving to a new tower/rac; I were nearly |
| 24 |
crying about, but before, I quickly invoked fsck.xfs on my LVM (which this |
| 25 |
disk is part of) and *really* got confused. |
| 26 |
fsck.xfs is really a no-op. I couldn't figure out yet why. I can now just pray |
| 27 |
that everything seems to go just well (as it does till now ;) |
