Are the SCSI disk writes atomic or they're hardware dependent? What I mean is that if you issue a 32KB write and the power goes off at the same time, is there any gauarantee that either the disk blocks will be updated completely or nothing will be written at all? what about SCSI RAID controllers? Another concern is that DMA may be in progress while memory contents become unstable. Is this possible? Regards, fj __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
