Re: [GENERAL] Lost rows/data corruption?

[Andrew Hall]

We do the maintenance reboot (and other various log cleanups etc) as part of 
our normal maintenance practice. We don't really 'need' to do this, however 
we've traditionally found that operating systems perform better with an 
occassional reboot (cleanup fragmented memory etc.).

What's the purpose of doing this?  If it's necessary then the reboots
aren't really fixing anything.  Is whatever problem that prompted
this procedure being investigated so a permanent fix can be applied?
