No, this is *ridiculous*. A filesystem should tolerate a failed disk when the VM system can handle bad memory, or the scheduler can handle an overheated CPU.

Working hardware sounds like a great place to me. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@willow.seitz.com A Pope has a Water Cannon. It is a Water Cannon. He fires Holy-Water from it. It is a Holy-Water Cannon.
