I have. Multiple times on multiple partitions. Rebooting with a disk, and fsck.reiserfs did the trick, but it's annoying. Switched all of my boxen to ext3 after that happening a few dozen times. ext3 on the same disk, for double the amount of time r3 was on there has never had an issue with the same usage. > As for Hans Reiser's "personal problems": there are programmers > at Namesys working on both reiser 3 and 4 while Reiser is > unavailable. It's hardly a reason to avoid the relatively mature > reiser 3. r3 is mature and only huge bug fixes go in. r4 is being worked on, but not rabbidly, like it used to be. ext3-4 are backwards compatible, so you can easily swap to 4 (but not back, from what I hear). You cannot do this with an "upgrade" of r3-r4. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
