new ubuntu installations etc. offer a rescue boot option but maybe, for such a 
remote server, XFS would be the best filesystem? I've never heard of a fsck 
needed with xfs.

to be able to do a fsck is absolutely basic...how would you 
run a server without that?

A while back I helped setup a 2000 node server farm and it was pretty cool.
 Each node had a small embedded linux processor on top of the console
access that provided a virtual console over the net -- so you could power
cycle, reset, mount virtual DVD images -- all remotely.  The only tricky
part was figuring out the IP address of the particular virtual console
interface you wanted when you had 2000 of them to sort through. :-)  We ran
"rocks" which offered a lot of tools for sorting through this and managing

Just as an informal notice, some of the machines in San Diego
apparently didn't recover from another power outage:

  http://www.ucsd.edu/emergency/

The FlightGear MapServer, Scenemodels and the GIT mirror are affected.
The PostgreSQL database backend behind the two web sites is functional
again - we just can't make much use of it
