Not typically; there isn't much writing going on, this is true.

HDDs don't fail because they lose power. You get data corruption when writing and losing power, and you get filesystem corruption if the filesystem/OS is postponing writes to increase write performance. That's not HDD failure. -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
