Yeah, especially if it's UFS2, you're doing softupdates with background fsck, and you've used vinum to build the large logical volume. ;-) -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
