Yes, very constructive to say "I have software which is broken, but I refuse to tell you just in what way it shows". Just makes you wonder how credible such reports are. Of course there may be bugs in ext[2]fs, but I've also noticed how many people have a tendency of blaming software for their own mistakes or their defective hardware. I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just realizing that all I've seen you say is "extfs is broken", no explanations, no nothing. I apologize if I've missed an article or if you've been using email to go into the details. >-- > \ / Charles Hannum, mycroft@ai.mit.edu > /\ \ PGP public key available on request.
