	Being in a place where power cuts are common when it rains...
I can tell you what has happened to this server in those occasions...

during the boot process, it warns you that there are some files kinda...
unlocated... or maybe that the owner is lost... or that there are some
pieces of files that cant be recovered... it asks you if you want to
fix it... as the file systems themselves... I usually do a fsck on the
various partitions to see if there is anything too bad there...

after that, the worse thing that can happen is that you miss a fwe
files... *grin* maybe a binary or two... depends on luck I guess...
nothing serious has happened here ever... I guess the system can 
recover... me not know... the server is still running... after the
winter rains... of course, the hard disk drive is developing bad
sectors I guess, cuz now we cant do a decent find / -name file 
without the server crashing or freezing to which the only thing
left to do is... reset... *shrug*
