BUT, if background fsck >ever gets implemented, it should help immensely even the score in that >area. FWIW, the "background fsck" is (at least partially) implemented in -CURRENT. And there have been a few times that I've experienced a panic in -CURRENT, and the background fsck kicked in; seemed to work as expected for me in those cases -- no surprises; no known data loss or damage. And though I'm somewhat "playing with fire" here, I was also able to mount the filesystems in question OK under -STABLE. (I boot either -STABLE or -CURRENT on my laptop.) Cheers, david -- David H.
