Running SuSE 9.0 here.
I have had a couple of fsck failures on booting my machine and whilst this is not many, I would like to prevent data loss as much as possible until I can implement a thorough backup solution.

Would someone help please with the syntax and my thought process.
If you're very concerned about the risks of data loss related to hardware failure, start out by running a journalled filesystem on a redundant/mirrored disk setup. (I use almost exclusively JFS on RAID1). Journaled filesystem is installed here (ext3). Additional protection always helps ie you either lose or don't lose data, you are or your not

One of my next posts is going to be a start on a backup script built with advice/howtos from the list. -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
