We have had two HP400t disk crashes out of about 10 systems. One was a real head crash, the other a mysterious problem which went away when the disk was invol'd and restored from backup. All our systems came from Mentor Graphics. We are running SR 10.3. Are these just bad luck or should we expect more of the same? Thanks for your help. -- Jeff Dwork | 408-749-2356 | dwork@AMD.COM Advanced Micro Devices, M/S 45 |--------------------------------------- PO Box 3453 | The above opionions are mine, Sunnyvale, Ca 94088 | not AMD's.

Just Bad Luck, My 8 400t nodes have had Zero disk problems in ~8months. (lost one sony monitor horiz scan) That problem fixed by invol was not a disk crash but a transient error that wrote to a baaad place. We had this happen once due to major power glitches.
