I had the exact same thing happen twice. It ran every other file system just fine, but XFS with one power failure and it was unbootable from then on. I don't know why I just know that I used Reiserfs after that and it worked fine, even after power failures, lots of them too. That said, nothing is perfect. A UPS is a good idea even if it can only last long enough for a proper shutdown. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
