I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments, but having been a very long-time user of UNIX and Solaris, I still have the nagging feeling in my mind that out there somewhere, there is an organization that has presented Sun with a big fat waiver (and suitably fat check) saying "You _must_ not panic under any circumstance. We _require_ 100% uptime - no compromise. If data gets corrupted in such a drastic event, then its up to our data quality group to sort out any resulting mess". Of course, with OpenSolaris, this is eminently possible... Devil's Advocate me? Always... ;-) Regards...
