Here you are.... The following happened to me with reiserfs as it was shipped with suse 9.1: ------------------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mytex/konstanz/wohnung> ls auto makler2.aux makler2.log makler2.tex makler.aux makler.log swk.eps unilogo.eps briefkpf.tex makler2.dvi makler2.ps makler3.tex makler.dvi makler.tex unikopf.tex [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mytex/konstanz/wohnung> rm *.aux *.log rm: cannot remove `makler2.log': No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mytex/konstanz/wohnung> ls auto briefkpf.tex makler2.dvi makler2.ps makler2.tex makler3.tex makler.dvi makler.tex swk.eps unikopf.tex unilogo.eps [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mytex/konstanz/wohnung> uname -a Linux euler03 2.6.5-7.108-smp #1 SMP Wed Aug 25 13:34:40 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mytex/konstanz/wohnung> date Tue Sep 21 13:15:45 CEST 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------- Note the line "rm: cannot remove `makler2.log': No such file or directory" There was no data loss, but such a bug should not happen. I never had similar experiences with ext3. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this behavior. > Powerloss, unpluging the Disk while writing, full filesystem, > heavy use : No problems with reiser4.. It *is* stable. My impression: reiser3 is not 100% stable, but quite stable, written by someone who asks for "review by benchmark". Michael
