[Wlug] I'd like to see Windows do this....

[Tal Cohen]

I agree that we were lucky; we did not design the system to run crippled - I
just thought that it was cool that it did :) Do not get me wrong, I do not
have anything against Windows...I just really do not think it would have
died so chivalrously.

I agree with you that the OS should be on the RAID array. This was one of
the lessons learned from this event.

Again, If you've bothered to use RAID on your data, why not on the OS
as well?  It's not like the OS is all that big space wise, so it's
cheap to mirror.

And not always will the system (unix or otherwise) fail so nicely.
You were lucky in my book.  :]
