Until now these reports have gone unanswered, presumably because the people In The Know are busy either trying to reproduce and diagnose it or because there are even more critical -- or more interesting -- things to do. So for now the options are either not using software RAID, not using 2.6, or not using ext3. If you can afford it, I'd suggest hardware RAID, and SCSI if you're really rich. -- Leandro GuimarÃes Faria Corsetti Dutra +55 (44) 3028 7467 WebLink Tecnologia +55 (44) 269 71 78 MaringÃ, PR BRAZIL _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
