Count me among the (few?) using old hard drives. HDPARM + /etc/init.d/spindown, and I've yet to have a drive fail in this configuration. And I'm using really old (Conner anyone?) drives with 100MB DOS partitions. I use SCP to keep a copy of the config files offsite for each Leaf box so if a drive does fail, I format another, syslinux & copy the LRPs and config files, and it would be back in business.
The write protection of floppy is definitely an advantage, but has anyone had their Leaf box compromised in a way where that would have mattered? - Bob Coffman ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
