The problem with 15, to the best of my understanding is that it forgets to write all changes to disk when you shutdown the system. Thus, you end up with massive amounts of fs corruption, especially on boxes that have had long uptimes. It has nothing to do with the fs being used. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
