How did the hard drive fail? Is it the file system, or the computer won't boot up?
Sounds to me like the constant writing to the HD corrupted the file system. I don't think it's mechanical.

My dev server melted down. coincidentally, I had a taf that returned a foundset with 1000 records. A mistake, but it would choke the http server. I was in the process of fixing that taf when my server just died. Hard drive failure. It seemed like a coincidence. No way that a too-big foundset could corrupt a hard drive, right? I moved the files to another server. I fixed the taf to make sure it only retrieved 75 records at a time. (<@ARG number> = 75) Another person kept restoring the old taf, though. It crapped out the http server. Then a hard drive failure. Is it possible that a taf that returns too big a data set could crap out the hard drive? Coincidence? ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
