Cant remember the exact error - its been known for awhile, but wasn't all that common when i searched for it. If they get a set of usable tools, especially online fsck I'd go back to it as having a drive offline for hours whilst checking reiserfs isn't great (though at least it doesnt happen often) BillK On Thu, 2011-09-01 at 17:13 +1000, Adam Carter wrote: > > Is it reliable? > > So far so go for me.
