My (2.5 y/o) daughter occasionally presses the reset-button while sitting on my chair... (yes, the button is on a really bad location on the case). So it gets reset unintentionally regularly. Using 2 disks with 2 partitions. 1 with RAID-1 for /boot and the other with RAID-0 with LVM ontop where all the other partitions are inside LVM. Not had a bad start in a very long time. Last time it stopped for a manual fix was after the reset happened during a big emerge-session. -- Joost
