The same could be said of any mail server that isn't RAID at the very least. Oh, let's demand an off-site backup before returning an OK status to the sender, and one of those S/390 processors that runs two pipelines in lock-step to detect errors in the CPU. Swat the very last kernel bug too BTW.
Really, this isn't a big deal. Maybe it wasn't the best choice. The drive probably lies to the OS anyway, so get over it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
