How did you determine it was corrupted? yes, /bin/ls, I did an md5sum and compared it with my other system. it was also a few hunderd bytes smaller. It seemed to be the only file that was different.

Re: [Cooker] Re: Mandrake 8.2 and ext3
on this subjects is there any tool to chnage a partition from ext2 to ext3 without losing the data on it. and may be to chnage partition size also (like partition magic) Bernard George Mitchell wrote: > Brian J.

Whenever a file system gets full, anything left sitting in memory is playing musical chairs with whatever little space is left. And the end result usually has little to do with the specific file system type. My personal experience with ext3 (I used reiserfs prior to 8.1) is that it is solid as a rock. My machine hangs up on USB unload consistantly, and I have NEVER had a problem on reboot. I am using a combination of ext3 and reiserfs for 100% journaling. I LIKE IT!
