If that's the one, it was just spinning and didn't actually cause "problems" except that the load went berserk. In either case, there have been bugs with*every file system* I've used with large volumes, but XFS remains my goto file system for all large volumes as it is the best performance/stability match out there. no, this bug actually caused a big chunk of directories to disappear after a power failure event. I might be wrong about 6.3, it could have been 6.2 or something. I agree, XFS is my goto linux file system for large volumes. ZFS is my other favorite, but I still don't trust it on Linux. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast
