thanks for the replies, gentlemen. yes, the 'outlier' issue is really the crux of it. while this isn't bad motherboard, neither is it enterprise-grade. i'm reasonably happy with the performance, so i really should just buy a spare of the mobo, and for the most part that covers me. sure - it's possible if my existing motherboard died, it could take the cpu and ram with it - but i think that's a really remote possibility, it's never happened to any machine i've ever worked with before.
yes, i need to get a good backup solution in place. the three way zfs provides awesome data integrity (and i have automated snapshots occurring as well), but it's not enough... thanks again. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
