- I beg to differ here. We have 8 A4000's at work (some of them A4000T's)
- and all partitions are DC-FFS. The older A4000's, with System 3.0, have
- been running for over a year with no problems. We have hard disks in
- these machines ranging from 300Mb IDE's to 4GByte SCSI's.
-
- Certainly, something nuked your partition. But don't blame the filesystem.
