I seek any advice on how to visibly demonstrate (including a purposeful crash of a Linux box) the benefits of ext3 over ext2. Doing a crash is pretty nearly the _only_ way to demonstrate ext3's advantage. The whole *point* of ext3 is to be as identical as possible to ext2, but to add instant recovery after a crash! If you want to see ext3 in action, you might want to have a look at the "logdump" command in debugfs, which will show log records being added live to your filesystem. Cheers, Stephen
