Stan, you are still a XFS expert, you are still a hardware expert, and I
love reading your posts at debian-user, I sometimes even search for those,
you still know a lot and heck you are still Stan and as such without any
achievement or knowledge at all a precious being.
Just like anyone else on this list (and elsewhere) is a precious being just
as they are.
So whats so difficult with admitting that what you wrote about Ext4 and
journal replay as at least misleading?
Heck, even I was confused at first. Cause the manpage of fsck.ext4 IMHO is
not really clear about that topic to say the least. I tested it out for a
reason.
I am concerned about the tendency I perceive in open source, heck general
computer communities to bind own value to being right on a topic. There is
no, absolutely no connection at all. You and everyone else is valuable and
precious without any prerequisite at all.
I also take some to learn out of this myself: Cause I was obsessed with
being right myself and bound my value to it as well. I have overdone my
previous mails. Sorry for that.
Thanks,
