Have you lost files in panics? I haven't. Since you do not define in which OS this last question applies, the answer is definitely "yes". That is exactly how I came to FreeBSD about a month or so ago. X11 managed to bring my kernel to it's knees. Linux paniced and managed to fsck everything on the disk to the never-never land when it came back up. With FreeBSD now... I have had a few power-failures bring the machine down, if that counts for a "crash", and nothing happened to my files. Seems there is a basic difference somewhere in between. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
