if anyone cares, reading from a fried ext2 (even by accident *sigh*) kills the kernel....
Shouldn't there be some way to prevent this?
(the drive has been sacrificed to the gods of recycling :)
I have 4 happy drives left - most of which are busy doing something. I have enough flakey hardware present that another such error could happen at some random point in the future - and I'll lose everything I was working on on the _GOOD_ drives.
There should be SOME error recovery - even as much as a "sync" command. [even sysrq froze]
G'day, eh? :) - Teunis
