>Are not we better off trying to do our best protecting all types of errors?
Not necessarily. This is a great example of the importance of good judgement. There are 2 types of errors with "soft" occurring 98% of the time, and "hard" 2%. You want to make a major effort to protect against the 2% and do nothing about the 98%. To me that is just silly. RAID is a silly waste of resources. >All your problems are soft related, I've seen more hardware related. I'm sorry the you don't understand that things change and the significance of MTBFs. You keep implementing tech solutions from the '80s and '90s. >I would choose to try and protect both, you ignore one. Yep, that's a fine example of of bad judgement. Once events become very rare the technology used to protect against them becomes a significant source of problems. It can exceed the likelyhood of the original problem. Time to chnage with the times. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
