- Unfortunately, I have to call it ALPHA, too. Last week I switched to extfs
- with 89pl5 and found lots of errors. Sometimes efsck reports an error
- while counting the inodes (one was missing), and after a system hang-up
- ( with X ) even efsck wasn't able to repair the file system again.
-
- I use MINIX fs again and wait until extfs is reported stable.
