Hello.
Yesterday we faced a massive power outage. On our master file server
(NFS, Samba, Netatalk) running linux-2.4.21-xfs, some files that were
modified a few seconds before the outage on the NFS clients have been
truncated to zero sizes on the server.
These were not *new* files, but files existing long before this
failure. Perhaps this is related to the way the software (Emacs in
particular) write files when modifying them, but I am not sure about
this.
What can I do to prevent this ?
Many thanks in advance.
PS: by now, this server is running "SGI-XFS CVS-2003-09-24_05:00_UTC",
kernel that was installed a few days before this power outage.
