Hi, We have been using ext3 with numerous machines and they take quite a bit of abuse without incident. This morning I got a call to say that a power cut had rendered one box unbootable. Investigations revealed that the /boot partition was in good order. An fsck of / also showed things to be well - except that the partition was completely empty - except for /lost+found. It might appear that some one had created a new filesystem on it. However no one at that office would know how. Someone commented that this had happened before but not reported. I am perplexed, and struggle to believe it's an ext3 problem. Anyone seen anything like this before? TIA. -- Ian Leonard eMail: ileonard@ntlworld.com Phone: +44 (0)1865 765273 Please ignore spelling and punctuation - I did. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
