No, the problem is only if the host shutdowns uncleanly with the UML still active (so the fs would be marked as unclean), and would cause visible problems with the journal recovery. Also, it seems that these problems happen rather more likely with reiserfs than with ext3, maybe because reiserfs is more "optimized" and so is more exigent with the underlying support. -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Skype user "PaoloGiarrusso" Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade
