Re: Filesystem corrupts after power failure

What you need is a UPS. Running a server without one is irresponsible. ;-)


Hi thanks for the advice. Yeah, hmmm UPS's! Most of these servers are
on customers sites and they have a habit of pressing the wrong buttons
etc or a power failure overnight will outlast the UPS.

UPS fail gradually and give the system time to shut down properly. Eg you
could set things up so that if the system is more than 5 min on UPS, it
shuts itself down.

Or the backup power supply in a datacentre we co-lo in manages to fail
...outrageous!

The partitions are split out into /, /boot, /var, /home, /usr and /tmp.

I'll try sync'ing the / and /boot partitions and leave the others unsynced.

Cheers,
mark
