We need to distinguish between a file which was being replaced at the time of the power failure (and some desktop applications/toolkits are very update-happy in terms of constantly rewriting application dot files) versus the file system actually becoming corrupt. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
