Hello, I have my home partition on a raid1 device, and there is an ext3 filesystem on it. Some more information: fstab: ---------------- /dev/hdc1 / ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime /dev/md0 /home ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,data=writeback raidtab: --------------- raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 persistent-superblock 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 device /dev/hda2 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc2 raid-disk 1 Recently I had some freezes (due to nvidia...?), and everytime I had to make a hard reset. Everytime then the raid resynced completely which took about 1.5 hours. One time I lost some kde settings when this happened. The filesystem did not complain about an unclean shutdown, it seems it did not see on bootup that the last shutdown was unclean. Now to my questions: Is this the normal behaviour? Shouldn't the filesystem take care of that? What is the point of having a journaling filesystem on a mirror? Is there anything I can change to have the filesystem handle unclean shutdowns?
