Tellingly, the really heavy duty stuff is enterprise customers, and they're inevitably using RedHat, SuSE or CentOS 99% of the time. Ubuntu boxes aren't allowed anywhere near production on my watch. It would not surprise me one little bit if Ubuntu had somehow broken something by accident though. So yeah, any more details would be appreciated and I can even test for it: I have a SAN in the garage and a directory full of 1Tb images of a certain clumsy DJ's broken hard drives that I can throw back and forth to see if anything falls over :] Regards -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
