When the drives go poof, the kernel may stay alive a while longer, but as no more writes (or reads) are possible, you eventually power off the machine, and the disk state is left exactly as if the power to the whole system had been cut, rather than just the communication bus. Later, you reconnect the drives and boot the system, and it appears exactly as if recovering from any other ungraceful reboot. So from that perspective, the crash you experience is as standard as standard can get. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
