SubjectRe: Solaris 2.6 and Linux
my ultra enterprise 2, dual 200Mhz sparc beast at work has a UPS, my P60 linux
box that I use there does not. We've had many power outtages. Twice the
outtages have gone longer than the ultra's UPS battery. The first time I ONLY
had to re-install 2.6 after re-making the filesystems on the disks. The second
time, I had to get a new prom chip from Sun. I must admit that fsck on the
Linux box has caused problems, it once deleted my Xgalaga scores file, but I
recovered it from the lost+found dir. :)
