copy all your important *.mp3 and *.mpeg files onto
your 100GB disk partitioned as ext2 .. as if that was
your only copy of it

now power off your system ... and reboot

and if you're smart, you'd answer "y".. please check the fs when
it reboots from a power failure/reset switch


than do the same test with ext3, reiserfs, jfs, etc
where "journeling" is supposedly working right
