Yes, But! Hardware will always get you. Every disaster I have had has
been down to IDE controllers (twice) or something else on the
motherboards (once) trashing ALL the disk, at least on 3 occasions so
far. Even Sun got rid of the practice. I've seen symlinks like they were
going out of style when a partition ran out of space, on both Solaris
and Linux. IBM did something clever on RS6000, with smit, you could
extend a partition on the fly if it needed more space.
