From: Joerg Schilling [mailto:joerg.schill...@fokus.fraunhofer.de] Joerg, I'm going to recommend xz instead of (or in addition to) bzip2. It's much faster and compresses better. My experience is 2x faster and 2x better compression. Oh - Specifically if you use compression level 1.

Can you go through the cron log and figure out exactly when it does this? Do you leave your system up all the time or are you shutting it down? what does your /etc/cron.d/FIFO look like. Is it a pipe 600 root root? I have never seen something randomly remove cron entries. -- This message posted
