My other thought: Hardly a recommendation, because I have not tried it, but have you looked at http://jfs.sourceforge.net/ ? You could put it on an old box and pull the power cord half a dozen times to see what happens
There is, to my knowledge, no filesystem in existence with 100% immunity to power outages. JFS is as good or as bad as any other in that respect.
I think reiserfs is more resilient in this situation. At lest, it checks faster.
I can't compare them, but it seems to me that no filesystem can guarantee clearing the appropriate "dirty" bit when power is lost at precisely the wrong nanosecond. I'm no expert though.
The OPs problems seems to be that his systems are not setup for running an automatic fsck at startup. Only if the initial fsck fails will the system refuse to continue - it should not just always open a prompt and expect a manual fsck.
Maybe the script trigering the automatic fsck fails for some other reason, like a faulty line in fstab or a not present partition.
Yep, my thoughts exactly. -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
