While I am resurecting one of my mail servers (which is currently
running Linux) the thought crossed my mind "How would FreeBSD cope with
this situation?"

This server is running Software-RAID on a (patched for RAID) 2.2 kernel,
and last night, the power went out for about three hours. My UPS only
lasted for 2 of them.

How does FreeBSD cope with these sort of things? My Cache server took
about an hour-and-a-half of fsck.ext2'ing to come back to a useable
state.

My primary mail server, as I said is still in pieces and being
resurected now. I've been contemplating bringing the mail over to
FreeBSD, but haven't as yet as I've still got to port some PAM stuff
that we wrote for Linux.

Can someone please comment on this?
