lost data then, eh? 10K is just a little bit above what I can spend, 
although I was aware of the option :-) Thanks for the help anyways.

XFS reuses the freed blocks very fast you say? I'd think that on a 
striping raid array the blocks wouldn't be as quickly freed... Does 
this, in essence, mean that if you're stupid and don't back up your 
data, you lost it forever in xfs?

cheers
