LOL. I have two hard drives and copy my main drive over to the second |
| 59 |
drive pretty regular. One is reiserfs and the other ext3. What are the |
| 60 |
chances both would screw up at the same time? ;-) |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
It could have been a bad version of XFS or something but after about |
| 63 |
three or four times, it just got old. I put ext3 on it after that and |
| 64 |
it would recover fine, except for the griping about not being shutdown |
| 65 |
properly and such. It was a in-law so no clue exactly what it said but |
| 66 |
it booted and worked. |
| 67 |

| 68 |
You are right, no matter what FS you use, there is somebody that hates |
| 69 |
it. I guess you just have to install, make a back-up, then pull the |
| 70 |
plug and see if it survives or not. If it does, you got a keeper, if |
| 71 |
not, restore to another FS and try again. o_O |
