<OT> I do not claim that what you said is not true, but once in the past, when I was young and dumb (now I'm old and dumb) I intentionally pulled out that 80-wire data-cable from one of my 2 ata-disks during heavy i/o-loading (copying files) just to see, if my raid-1 array (hda+hdc) survives it... Computer got crazy for ~20 seconds, spilled out a couple of screens with errors, but then resumed normal opperation and even finished copying files without any "hard-lock". Just marked that one disk as "failed" and went on. Maybe it was just a luck... But I think new s-ata (or scsi) drives support some sort of hot-plug, so even disconnecting should not lock the whole system... </OT> Jarry -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen?
