Works great on a desktop; not so good on a server whose
console is being accessed remotely (unless a suitable CD/DVD
remains in the drive at all times). Actually, with planning ahead
(how often does _that_ actually happen?),
I'd want _4_ bootable copies of the root filesystem: 2 active mirrors,
1 spare for recovery not normally mounted, and 1 for Live Upgrade.
If they were also split across two controllers, that, plus the remote
hard reset possible on many of the servers, should allow most situations
to be recoverable without physical access.
Any set of solutions that fails to address all scales of desktop or
server support isn't complete.
Agreed. But won't you have a VT100 terminal lying around in the lab ...

Moinak.
