I have a question...
You mentioned that you'd see the problem during a large number of concurrent transactions. My question is, is this a necessary condition for the database crashing when the plug was pulled, or did you need use a large number of concurrent transactions to "guarantee" that when you pulled the plug, that it would be at an inopportune time? In other words, is an IDE drive still "more" susceptible to a power outage problem even under light load?
Thanks! Mark
