That's not true. Up to 2.6.17.5 it /may/ eat your data. I ran 2.6.17, in the buggy state, for >2 weeks before I upgraded. It did _not_ eat my data. Don't get me wrong - it was lucky, and yes - it's a heinous bug. If it just _ate_ your data, more people would have lost data and or filesystems. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
