Please note that there can be APPARENT cooruption when filesystems are exported via NFS or SMB such that the recieving machine may detect 'corruption' because some features don't cross the OS boundries (e.g. Windoz just hates filenames with ':', and Solaris > 2.7 really dislikes inodes with timestamps that are earlier than 0000Z01JAN70 [takes a kernel feature enabled to not disallow access]). <scw>
