Hi all,
This is already the second time it happens to me... :-((
Do you have any clue why this can happen ? Are you aware of any way of 
avoiding this problem or have an automatic recovery procedure ? Is it a 
known bug ?
I'm deliveing this machine to a client and it's pretty inconveniant
for me to go back every time he has a power failoure...

<off topic>
Does exist a rescure disk for sparc with xfs and raid compiled in (or is
there any documentation how to build one without a sparc machine ...
cross compiling anyone ? ) ?
</off topic>

tnx for your help,
p
