...rnaled and hardened so they recover clean from power failures, what point is there in having your UPS initiate a controlled shutdown N seconds beforehand? I sure don't see enough of one to justify a multi-layer architecture involving three concurrent processes, four configuration files, and a partridge in a pear tree. NUT, as it is now, seems to me to be a textbook case of massive overengineering and overkill based on outdated assumptions. One possible reply is that filesystem hardening sometimes fails. But that objection implies the right solution, which is to fix the filesystem hardening ra...

Not sure if it''s been posted yet, my email is currently down... http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2007/10/suns_zfs_is_clo.html Interesting piece. This is the second post from Yager that shows solaris in a pretty good light.
