This server is running Software-RAID on a (patched for RAID) 2.2 kernel, and last night, the power went out for about three hours. My UPS only lasted for 2 of them. How does FreeBSD cope with these sort of things? My Cache server took about an hour-and-a-half of fsck.ext2'ing to come back to a useable state. My primary mail server, as I said is still in pieces and being resurected now. I've been contemplating bringing the mail over to FreeBSD, but haven't as yet as I've still got to port some PAM stuff that we wrote for Linux. Can someone please comment on this? - andrew -- void signature () { cout << "Andrew Reid -- andrew.reid@plug.cx" << endl ; cout << "Cell: +61 401 946 813" << endl; cout << "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur" << endl; } To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
