Thanks for your response.
Touch wood, I've found filesystem corruption seems to have become
a thing of the past.
I assume this is something to do with journaling.
My laptop (Fedora-16/KDE) freezes about once a week.
I'm not sure why, it doesn't seem to be associated with any application.
In any case, I have to stop the machine by pressing the power button.
When I re-boot there has not been any problem with the filesystem.
As I say, touch wood.

Thanks. I'll look into that.
Though I don't think that I have any choice except to hope the machine
reboots nicely when power returns,
since I can't "see" it from a remote location until it has re-booted.
One possibility I've considered is to have a UPS stop the machine,
and then use Wake-on-LAN to start it again.
But to date I haven't been able to get Wake-on-LAN to work
on my HP PowerServer, though it is supposed to be an option.
