Actually the ext2fs code in the 2.2 SNAPs seems more stable than in Linux. We had a drive in a Linux box go bad (yep you guessed it, a brand new 1.2G WD - I guess I didn't "overlay" it in time) and no Linux box here would read it without panicing (completely unusable). I made a new 2.2-960501-SNAP kernel with ext2fs and it read the drive just fine (although with a few hard errors) - no panics, core dumps, etc. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.
