Thanks for all the replies in this thread, one final question about fault resistance on file system formats against block errors on the same physical disk. Is there no fsutil parameter when creating say ext file systems or any other non-complicated file system these days that for example would in their most simple for write two bytes instead of just one for every byte or similar foolish ideas I can come up with just right now. Two bytes consecutively or two bytes even randomly placed on the physical disk (but then you would need some kind of look-up map or directory for that again I guess). You get the idea. Filesystem tweak or fine tuning for writing redundancy onto this disk for better block error resiliency. Thanks for any hints and ideas. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
