Yes and no. Of course you can run it as a cli command, BUT NOT on a

to pay for data consistency for as often as I boot the server. FS
corruption left uncorrected is not an advantage in the few minutes it
adds to a boot every few months IMO.
This conversation has me confused, but then, I'm relatively new to
Linux.
But I've read more than one post claiming that someone's Linux system
has been up and running nonstop for nearly three years. What kind of
file system do _those_ folks use?
That was probably me - I posted an uptime from a server which has been
up for near 1040 days now. We also have a few dozen linux servers with
only around 550 days uptime (more recent kernel update), but none of the
servers has ever gone down except for hardware maintenance, a kernel
update, or a power failure.

They all use reiser, which is BTW the default on suse enterprise.
Unfortunately, reiserfs burned me in a power failure situation.


What distro, how many years ago,

About three years ago. 9.x release.

What part of POWER FAILURE did you not understand?

The entire neighborhood had no power for a couple
days. I have a UPS, but not THAT good.

Unfortunately, when it occurred, I was a couple
hundred miles away -- well, actually it was fortunate
for me personally, because the we never lost power
at the military reservation where I was at during
this time.



I've heard of reiser problems in early versions, and especially on
redhat. Also, you may have assumed that the filesystem caused your
problem when it was simple hardware failure.

This would have been reiser 3, I believe.
