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... 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 ? ) ? tnx for your help, p On Wed, May 28, 2003 at 07:35:30PM -0600, Michael Loftis wrote: > I just had this happen on a large-ish (150+Gb) array.
