Hi,

I defenitely do not have the needed file system knowledge needed to 
prove that, but you said it was caused by ext2 fs. So if I use e.g. ufs 
I should not have this problem right? As You shurely know, ext2fs 
has some improvements in peto for future releses, new file systems 
are on the horizon, hopefully, as they should be under the gpl, 
NetBSD will support them too.

As for the UPS I disconnect it all 3 months from the power cords as 
recommended and the servers shut down correctly. Luckily I haven=B4t 
had a single "real" power outage within the last 10 years.

I do not believe Linux is "better" than BSD, I can handle it just better 
because I have longer experience.
