I'd guess the nonbootability was the result of a head crash, and had nothing to do with the filesystem software. Why are you running 2.0.36? I hope you're behind a firewall. We've had two power failures recently, one building wide, one a single floor. AFAIK we had no losses except the drive on an elderly LispMachine (hardware damage to the drive) in the first, and 2 windows machines (filesystem corruption) in the second. This is out of about 400 total machines, of which I'd guess <75 are windows and about 250 are Intel linux. (don't hold me to the numbers, but it's the rough proportions atleast :) Not really frightening, even the M$ machines had less than 2% casualties and one was pretty near collapse before the power failure so say 1% of Windows workstations 0% of everything else (including the one lonely and ignored PowerEdge server running NT) -Jon
