But I'm almost absolutely sure. :-) The server is also a mail server and I tried running it for a few hours with just the mail partition being shared (which is EXT3) and had no problems. Now that leaves the possibility of the RAID controller (the mail isn't on the RAID controller) being flakey, but I highly doubt it (It's a Mylex ExtremeRAID 2000). I have a spare, I'll try swapping it in to see if that makes a difference. ...dave
