Mine is stable, sortof...
When i say sortof i mean i put it to stress levels of load average 25 for
about 2 hours, and it did not hard lock... storage subsystem crapped out
and reset a couple of times though, its hard to explain except that the
busy light comes on, and the hard disk quits and then my whole scsi bus
resets...but i did not have to reboot or anything...
But i can't depend on it for stuff...which irks me to the nth power
