Sorry to barge in, but generally if your hardware fails you have way bigger problems than the fs drivers. (I mean, the software tries to write ABC but a CPU/cache/RAM/Chipset/whatever error results in the hard drive receiving ABB, is only detectable by scrubing the data after the fact).
Assuming *good* hardware and ocasional crashes related to the software not doing the right thing, then yes. You should expect the fs to save most, if not all, of your data. XFS should do this.
Never used reiserfs in production, but XFS and ext3 are very good. XFS in (my) "realworld" worlkloads is the best by far (exception for mass deletes, which are slow). I don't understand why XFS scores so badly in these benchmarks.
Anyway, one should always test before deployment, if the fs is important, and benchmark if speed is important.
That's what I think too. I have the GTA01 (aka Neo 1973). They NEVER released a kernel with proper power management. They wasted time with toolkits and such and forgot the basics.
Later they released the GTA02 (aka Freerunner) and I thought about buying it, but after seeing that they STILL had problems waking up from low-power-state when receiving a call I just gave up.
Now my GTA01 is kind of useless as a phone because they only develop for the new toy (GTA02).
Two lessons: - Start from the beginning and get the basics right (proper kernel with power management is not too much to ask, right?)
- Don't abandon early adopters (some thousand users have the GTA01 and they don't even release an updated SDK. That's just making users angry).
I'll just continue to use mine with debian and as a PDA, not a phone. I won't even look their way until they start beeing more "UNIX" (do small parts that do their job well) and do that for a long time!
The only supported product in Windows XP's family is named "Windows XP SP3" and was released less than 1 year ago.
Redhat and Ubuntu will update your system to the latest version (think Vista in MS land) for the same price of the SP3 update to a legacy OS. (The price is "free", btw).
If he has "luser ALL=(ALL) ALL" in sudoers he can sudo bash and become root.
If he's only to have access to/usr/bin/rvi the correct entry would be:
luser ALL =/usr/bin/rvi...Now, if he can write to/usr/bin the admin has worst problems than luser getting root....And if the admin made the entry look like "luser ALL =/home/luser/rvi" (and luser has write access to/home/user) the admin is dumb.
So, your "exploit" needs the admin to be 110% dumb. Great! I know some 90% dumb, but 110% is pushing it:)
So, you made a link with your user, then executed the link as your user and with some magic you got root? The/home/looser/vi wasn't in/etc/sudoers, so how did you do that?
Well, I can tell you right now that's not true. You can't fool sudo by making a link. So, why would you lie?
Unfortunately, nexenta development appears to be glacial.
...and xen progress appears to be as glacial as nexenta (last blog update was at the end of April, but the previous entry was last August!) Please don't make claims about dead projects. Nexenta has updates from 2 weeks ago in the apt repos. I'm in the xen lists and there's much activity there, from core members to vendors and to end users.
It's not fair to evaluate projects like that just because the main page isn't updated...
If I can get ZFS and DTrace plus a modern toolset out of the box, Solaris will start to look much more attractive. Nexenta? http://gnusolaris.org/

It's hard to find statistics about KDE vs GNOME desktop usage. A few weeks ago I spent one or two hours researching this and every statistic says the same: KDE has 70% to 80% of the userbase. Beeing them from last year or from 3 years ago. Now I wish I have saved the few links I found about this subject.

RTFA, please. Who said it's free?

I have several boxes booting from flash. None failed yet (all less than 3 years).
I usually mount /var in the HDD array, if that's possible...
That's what I think too.

Those are search engine hits charted.
That confirms that Gnome users talk a lot more
