That is the paper in which Jim Gray coined "Mean time to data loss".
It's been quoted here before.
Nit: MTTDL has been in the reliability vernacular for quite some time,
long (decades) before Gray's 2005 paper.
Sad note: Turing award winner Jim Gray has been missing now for two
weeks, after he went sailing out of San Fransisco on his sailboat
Tenacious on jan 28.
Friends of Jim mobilised Amazon's mechanical Turk to scan the ocean
for possible signs of the boat. The search efforts can be tracked
at http://openphi.net/tenacious/
We all hope for his safe return.
