NO. You people simply come across as zealots who work together, against Reiser4.

Yeah, I can't see how the OS could read the love-letter either. But one thing is for sure. The FS ain't responsible for reading it. > Yes, it should not > assign any new data to those blocks but should it not also fall into the > file-systems domain to be able to restore some/all data? It's a tough ask of any FS. Microsoft's filesystem checker totally roasted all my data on an XP-box last night. I had used ntfsresize to reduce the partition size and had a power outage. Later, Windows booted, ran the filesystem checker, seemed OK. Next time I boot, all I get is Input/Output error. > > Just my 2c to the pond > Richard Knutsson > Addin my 2c John. -- johnrobertbanks@xxxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A no graphics, no pop-ups email service - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
