Correction: ext2 vs ext3 vs xfs vs reiserfs



In a previous email to this list I stated:

> The authors of XFS seem to think that because it is a journalling
> filesystem, a filesystem repair tool is not necessary.

This was in response to the fsck.xfs man page that says it does nothing.

I was too hasty in saying this.

There is another tool called xfs_repair that is used to repair XFS
filesystems.

I apologise to the XFS developers for making that unfounded statement
without checking my facts first.

I'm off to repair my XFS filesystem now (corrupted due to an IBM 75GXP 
hard drive, not due to any XFS error)
