missing 12GB of mail going back 2 decades after reboot

[gene heskett]

Greetings all;

I'm unhappy. VERY unhappy.

Most of the custom filters AND FOLDERS I rebuilt were erased by a reboot to 
install a fresh kernel. That's over 10 gigabytes of old mail, carefully sorted 
into their own folders that some bug wiped out.

I can, from amanda backups, probably reimport them again since I've yet to 
restart amanda on this new install.

This is BS, so how can I prevent a repeat of this on the next reboot?

No Cheers, Gene Heskett.
