[KLUG Members] ext3 size limits

   Well, let me answer this from experience. We won't discuss the fact my
boss does not see the need for ups's on servers but setting that point
aside....

   I've got 3 RH 7.2 servers all running ext3. No ups, etc. In my area power
and reliability do not go together. To answer your question, everything
comes back up just fine. I have had NO issues with ext3 and recovering from
sudden shutdowns. Then again, I'm not running 1tb partitions either.... My
20gb drive and recover in about 5-6 seconds....

> Should I still filesystem check after ever unclean boot?

    I would just to be safe.
