The journal really comes into play in the event of a system crash. If Linux crashes, make sure to boot back into Linux so the filesystem can be recovered using the journal. > I have WXP (for my sister, of course), Linux and FBSD 5.2-RELEASE.

I seem to remember this bug, I believe it was fixed in 5.2.1. The workaround is to manually unmount the filesystem prior to shutting down, but you should really update to 5.2.1. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.comhome | help
