Assuming you have IDE drives, it sounds like a write caching problem. This problem is amplified with the large caches on newer drives. A sudden power down causes the the data is the cache to be lost. The kernel doesn't know this has occured, because the drive lies, and claims that the cache has been flushed, resulting in file system _and_ journal corruption. Try the tests again with write caching off. You can do this with "hdparm -W0 /dev/hdX" Jord Tanner On Wed, 2004-01-14 at 15:43, Kai Weber wrote: > * Heinz Mauelshagen <mauelshagen@redhat.com>: > > > > system. I have XFS and ext3 partitions.
