Ruben is working on this problem full time since the previous report. Because where there is one rat there are going to be many rats. After seeing and confirming that first report we knew it was going to be a serious problem. The investigation so far mostly shows that the data on the disk has been okay. But in the layers above it the data sometimes gets corrupted. This won't be a consolation but there are both good backups of everything and the recent good snapshot too. Of course as time goes by there will be new bits added to everything and that will grow every day until resolved. Bob
