You can turn journalling on in Jaguar, too. Journalling can help reduce the incidence of problems, but it doesn't change the basic design or help you get out of this kind of problem if it does occur. The kinds of failure modes that HFS+ suffers do not inspire any trust in it basic architecture. I have had several of these corrupted file systems under HFS+, I have never had a UFS partition on any system break like this... even with tens of thousands of corrupt inodes caused by a disk failure during heavy processing, one pass of "fsck" was able to clean it and collect the orphaned files under lost+found. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
