What about hard locks? Will the magical keystrokes prevent these disasters with XFS? Most of my JFS/XFS usage has been for data which I cannot backup (MythTV Video Recording that are going to be erased in a few days after watching them) And therefore I don't care about it being lost (compared to say /etc or /home which do get backups and are on ext3) -- Tarek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
