Yes, But! Hardware will always get you. Every disaster I have had has been down to IDE controllers (twice) or something else on the motherboards (once) trashing ALL the disk, at least on 3 occasions so far. Even Sun got rid of the practice. I've seen symlinks like they were going out of style when a partition ran out of space, on both Solaris and Linux. IBM did something clever on RS6000, with smit, you could extend a partition on the fly if it needed more space. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
