Other than already proposed solution, given that you are the only person sitting near the machine & working power management, a press of the power button should cleanly shut down the computer.

If you install software when your hard drive has bad sectors then the software your installing may be written around those areas, possibly won't run properly (if at all) and cause the system to become unstable which would then result in further data loss. Also, bad sectors are like a disease and continue to `spread' the more it's used. - Russell DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential.

I followed the I have an LSI MegaRaid with three drives at RAID 5: works a god-damn-treat. I don't know what my throughput is on RAID 5 but RAID 0 was fast (70MB/s+). Were you doing these tests a few hours after initializing the array, by any chance? If so, then the poor performance could be because the array was `in build' while you were using it, and therefore you'd get very poor performance. Regards, Russell Wood DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer.

Is there any reason you are using Apache over another HTTP Daemon? Personally, I think Apache has gone down hill with regard to gluttony so I stopped using it a while ago. My preference is now Lighttpd. NB: Sorry about previous post. Outlook went crazy. - Russell DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential.
