I did the same thing. are you saying you have 3.5 TB reiserfs on 512 MB volatile cache, or did you just point out that it was technically possible to enable the cache despite not having a bbu? if you do run reiserfs with volatile cache enabled, some may say that is not even brave anymore... just don't come complaining about data loss after the next crash or power loss. good luck. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT, Austria. __ please don't Cc me, but send to list -- I'm subscribed
