That same thought ran thought my mind when I was testing. I started a process that does heavy writing and literally pulled the plug during the middle of the operation. I plugged it back in and the box came back up without a hitch. I did all my testing on x86 boxes using SCSI and IDE drives. I currently don't have access to any Alpha boxes to test on them. I'm not a big fan of Alpha, but the DS10 has always been a great workhorse in my experience. Is the firmware etc up to date on that box? --Nick On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 12:42:47 -0700 (MST), Terry R.
