Speaking of repairs. As I already mentioned, I always use small (256M..1G) raid1 array for my root partition, including /boot, /bin, /etc, /sbin, /lib and so on (/usr, /home, /var are on their own filesystems). And I had the following scenarios happened already:
But that's *exactly* what I have -- well, 5GB -- and which failed. I've modified /etc/fstab system to use data=journal (even on root, which I thought wasn't supposed to work without a grub option!) and I can power-cycle the system and bring it up reliably afterwards.
So I'm a little suspicious of this theory that /etc and others can be on the same partition as /boot in a non-ext3 file system.
