indeed - no idea how Linux handles - win32 would probably BSOD (I had 
W2K servers BSOD because someone accidently powered down an external 
drive it was writing to. nasty).
anyway, i had a weird problem too, ad4 (SATA drive) got detached 
overnight - more details at:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-September/097607.html

When I got to the console in the morning, the box was completelly frozen 
at the console, though I could access just fine via ssh.

Would anyone care to provide some explanation about this?

(After a couple of full scans with mhdd and no problems detected, I put 
the drive back into the server and it's been running ok since then. 
bloody weird.)

thanks in advance,
beto
