Oh. I indeed didn't realize that. Maybe if the log isn't empty, the
repair program could issue a warning, or perhaps just replay the log

in the future, though.

Ok. I notice that the PowerPC kernel maintainer has merged his
changes up to Linus's 2.4.7-pre6; Is it worth upgrading, or should I
just stick with 2.4.6?
Thanks again for the help.
