Same thing can happen, if, say, the power unexpectedly failed. The days you can assume that Unix servers are stored in machine rooms with guaranteed 100% reliable power feeds (e.g. using UPS) are over. Even in the city - have had a number of short power "glitches" lately. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
