I wish Sun would implement that.
This could be desired in some environments.
I've got a bunch of sun's on a terminal server and have never had a problem unless the cisco is powered off. That's acceptable; all the sysadmins know it, and no one else is allowed in the machine room (*cough*). Had a similar situation when I worked for an ISP.
This is exactly the environment I have.
Not once did you have any spurious breaks.
Exactly!
Now, if the NetApp wasn't able to immediately able to return to its previous running state after a "go", that would be a problem...
Yes, but I don't anticipate many accidental "breaks," and rebooting the netapp after such incident is a non-event. It takes a couple minutes and it recovers itself beautifully BY DESIGN.
