From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had my first case of corruption a few days ago. It was super minor and only for one file. I don't really know how it happened, but it was mid-bittorrent download. My best guess was that it might have been from a bad shutdown but I simply deleted the file and it was fine.
I am really waiting for RAID 5 support, but I don't think that's going to get fixed until they get that new stripe tree feature in.
Reminds me of a time I ended up getting some corruption in some cache file for firefox. It was after I did a number of forced power offs. I'm not sure if I should blame such corruption on the filesysten.
Better hope it was cosmic radiation and not an early indicator of failing hardware.
Yeah I am worried that it's my ram. I've definitely had bad RAM give me some bad scrubs before. Never defrag with bad RAM. I learned that the hard way.
