on the subject of journalled filesystems. i've been using reiserfs.
i've noticed that invariably, some files will get corrupted,
especially logs. they end up looking like 2 files spliced together.
anytime inn doesn't get to shutdown properly, i end up having to
rebuild all its history db's, etc, because they get corrupted.
i don't remember seeing such anomalies with ext2 a long time ago,
though fscks would take forever.
is this a strangeness with reiserfs? would it not happen with another
journalling fs, like jfs, xfs, or ext3? or is it just me?
while reiserfs gets booted quicker after a crash, it doesn't
necessarily feel safer.
