i make regular backups and use "e2fsck -y" to fix filesystems if e2fsck bails, falling back to the tape if data is lost. how many mortals really know how to do it better manually than e2fsck -y? a way to consistently lock the kernel is to fill an hfs filesystem (under ~2.4.0). i used to wonder how hfsfs had gotten *so* bad that it was constantly crashing the OS but i was running out of space on a little (~20M) partition. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brad Midgley
