Good idea not to use it on the / file system. LOL I was using Mandriva |
| 21 |
for my ex's Mom. After about three or four tries, I went back to |
| 22 |
reiserfs. It would crash but it would boot right back up again. |
| 23 |
Nothing lost that I know of. |

I just never trusted it again. I have also been told, and read |
| 26 |
elsewhere, that it is a pretty well known thing that it doesn't like |
| 27 |
power failures. It has its good points tho, which is why I was trying |
| 28 |
it out. |
