I, on the other hand, have suffered disk data corruption that affected only one or two partitions. Several times. Once I lost entirely an XFS partition, unrecoverable: a bug on the XFS repair program impeded data recovery (and they took more than a year to solve it). If all my data had been on a single partition, I'd have lost all data.
OK, now I'm worried about upgrading my Software RAID XFS system from 11.0! :) Q

You shouldn't. :-) I think I'll tell you of that time when a bug in reiserfs caused me to loose a partition. The silly thing thought that two different files had the same name and were colliding. I had to reformat it. Then, when you start thinking of switching to ext3, I'll offer to tell the tale of that time when I couldn't fsck and ext3 and lost all of it. Now, hummmm...., what do we have left? Ah, yes, vfat! Let us use vfat! X'-) There is no such thing as an entirely safe filesystem. I have had problems with all of them. (yes, vfat too!) :-) (Once I swapped a floppy in the middle of the retry, ignore, abort question: I ended with the structure of one floppy written on top of another - and they held a lab assignment due for that afternoon. Yep. Interesting times...). Just choose one that is good for you, and make backups in time. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
