I've heard of _bugs_ that could cause such things, but certainly nothing in the LU _design_ that would make it any more or less prone to such problems, or (as you seem to be asserting) somehow inherently unsafe. I don't think the assertion is accurate. (And only "heard of" bugs like you describe ... I've been using LU for many years now on quite a few different systems, and I've just never bricked a system with it, even after doing some fairly crazy things.) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
