It was always the goal. I have asked Tavin about this, and he feels very sure that the shutdown is in fact not causing the corruption, it only appears too because it is only detected on startup. (I hate to think what sort of weird data corruption is occuring before the restart.) It also seems that whatever bug is causing this is somewhere in the accounting code (freenet.fs.acct). And it should be noted that how often it occurs seems dependent on the system - some people get it all the time, while the node hawk.freenetproject.org never seems to get it (hawk is only running a 10 meg DataStore though). -- Oskar Sandberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
