Wait for your first major hardware crash, obviously at the worst of the times. You'll thank every deity you know for your backups ... Yes, backup is boring. It's like insurance. You don't use it in normal time. But it's absolutely necessary in case of trouble. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Backups are the health food that tastes like junk food.

After it is no longer in development stage and called stable, people will start using it for real, in a multitude of scenarios. *Then* there will be data losses ;) -- Marcin Kowalczyk [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/ -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

The reasons are, in no particular order: * There hasn't been a driving need for it (contrast with, say, improved NTFS filesystem support) * It isn't stable yet. The developers still recommend caution and lots of backups * Tool support (e2fsprogs) wasn't released in a stable version until last month (July) * The developers highly recommend tracking out-of-tree kernel patches, even for 2.6.26 (our current kernel in Intrepid) It looks as if it may be worth a more serious look in the next release cycle after 8.10. -- - mdz -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
