I guess it's not as robust a filesystem as I have been lead to
believe.
Good thing I have a current tape back up but I think I might switch to
reiser filesystem instead.
I've never had an NTFS filesystem puke this bad.

What are you talking about? Huh? Oh! The "Linux ext3" filesystem! Nice of
you to emphasize it to those of us who don't recognize our most popular fs.
Some of us might have mistaken it for a FreeBSD-fs or something...

Sure as hell, a lying troll needs his serving of doo-doo, and since the Rock
isn't handing out freebies these days, I'll deliver the smack-down! Punk!

That's "Reiserfs" to you, good sir!

Then I guess you never had a "Microsoft Windows NTFS 4/5", period!

Odd, you do know that the ext3 file system is actually ext2 with some
journalling.

You've been around for a while, otherwise I would be a bit more skeptical.

Have any details? I'm curious. (I'm a consultant and I recommend Linux, I'd
like to know what you saw.)

Reiser is a better choice for a file system with lots of small files. Ext2
is best for databases like Oracle and PostgreSQL. Ext3 is really good
systems which store a lot of largish files.

I wish I could say that, I have had a good number catastrophe moments with
NTFS.
