This information is incorrect, at least WRT XFS, please disregard. XFS had a bug prior to 2007 that could, in rare cases, cause some filesystem corruption upon power loss. This issue was fixed *4 years* ago. WRT JFS, I've not heard of a similar issue. Provide us a link please for the JFS case. Chris, if your comments relate simply to data loss, and not filesystem *corruption*, which are completely different things, this is a result of the buffer cache holding pages that have not yet hit the platters when the power dies. This issue is *not* filesystem specific. It affects *every* Linux filesystem. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
