\_ if the file system gets corrupted and there are files that
\_ if it's ext2fs, that should be "when it gets corrupted",
there's no if about it
can't be placed correctly they will get put there
\_ If your file systems gets sufficiently corrupted, it
won't matter that you got the files recovered. You'll
never be able to tell one file from another except by
looking at the contents. Try that for a 4 gig or greater
drive.
\_ If your car gets sufficiently smashed in an accident, it
won't matter that an ambulence is dispatched. It'll never
be able to save you. But then an ambulence is still
dispatched in every accident. Right?
\_ you're doing backups, right? You *are* doing backups.
\_ dude, its RH. Crash and Burn by definition.
\_ yeah, especially that redhat box I just upgraded from
2.0.36 that had been up for 320 days. Man what a piece
of junk. -tom
\_ Man, I don't remember soda being up that long .. ever.
\_ I dont know a machine that does as much as soda on
so little.
\_ Well, that particular box is the web server and
e-mail server for the Physics department, and is
a PII/266. It's not as heavily used as soda but
it's not trivial use either. -tom
\_ that's nothing! my NT machine hasn't crashed in
over 500 hours! hmmm. .. wait a minute.. that sucks. |
