Last time fsck had run on the file systems was 2006. When stuff gets that old, has been on-line and under heavy load all that time you actually get paranoid about reboots. In my newly reaffirmed opinion, at that stage reboots are at best a crap shoot. We lost several hours to that gamble more than we had budgeted for. HP is getting more of their gear back than in a usual month. Maybe that is just life with HP. -M -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
