Ah yes, RAID setups make this a survivable scenario. Thanks. |

I think this is only true if you don't have any filesystems mounted on |
| 16 |
the disk, or at least no files in use. I've seen problems that |
| 17 |
required a reboot when I accidentally shutoff a USB disk that was in |
| 18 |
use. |

So it's not really the whole system that locks up, just anything |
| 21 |
trying to access that disk. Of course, if we are talking about the |
| 22 |
one and only system disk, well, the whole system locks up. |
