FreeBSD 5.3 file system troubles

[Nick Pavlica]

That same thought ran thought my mind when I was testing.  I started a
process that does heavy writing and literally pulled the plug during
the middle of the operation.  I plugged it back in and the box came
back up without a hitch.  I did all my testing on x86 boxes using SCSI
and IDE drives. I currently don't have access to any Alpha boxes to
test on them.  I'm not a big fan of Alpha, but the DS10 has always
been a great workhorse in my experience.  Is the firmware etc up to
date on that box?
