Right mine wasn't too

unfortunately still failed at the same places on my parisc box: i.e.
[...]
verify /mnt/test/file_3053: -+(-)-i-+(-) ~ -----------------
[114]# failed.
[...]
verify /mnt/test/file_3053: -+(-)-i-+(-) ~ ----i-------E----
[124]# failed.
[199]# succeeded.
:-(
So most probably, a p-l issue, but i doubt that maintainers would track it down.
(lol and no, I definitely don't want to do, I still have to fix many details
of my vps as automatic restart when reboot the system, ...)

That said, nice recipe and collection of info.
Thanks a lot,
