You took the words right out of my mouth.
I often see/read messages from people who seem to thing (open)solaris
is some kind of windows or even linux. The latter is famous to run on
cheap and often even very old hardware. That's OK, because linux is not
only a modern system, it's also a geek system. And windows runs on
almost everything, BSOD's included.
Just to play devil's advocate, those new Sun blades have a single
flash DIMM per processing node as storage.
Additionally, over the last few months I'm pretty sure I've seen this
same discussion and report of corruption when the person *did* have
mirrored boot and had an unsafe power fail. I'll have to dig to find
it though.
