I've used both for a long time and have to think that you just had a rare case of bad luck with whatever went wrong on your ext3 partition, not a statistically valid sample. I've seen plenty of power-related crashes that required fscks, but they always recovered the data. I do recommend backups of anything important, though. In my case the filesystems have been more reliable than the underlying hardware. Using backuppc http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ is painless once you set it up. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
