What do you think over this? > Best regards > > Zoran no, it wasn't formated on freebsd. i formatted it under the ArchLinux distribution. In addition, the partition was an ext3, not just an ext2. And i was able to read/write without any problems (at least i didn't notice any). Also, the port installed the following files: fsck.ext2 fsck.ext3 fsck.ext4 fsck.ext4dev so even if the journal somehow will get corrupted, it will be possible to fix it. (i think that i used the fsck.ext3 utility once, because a friend of mine unplugged the drive without unmounting it first and it worked perfectly) ofc ymmv, but i think that it worths a shot. on the last part of your question, i'm afraid that i haven't used sheevaplug, so i can't be of any assistance there. hope i was helpful, Ed -- Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
