      HP P2000 (MSA) ....

      Single controller failing causes both controllers to fail taking down the whole enclosure.

        Just in case it goes away, because I'm so tired of hearing people tell me that I'm insane for thinking that this is even a possibility.

          @scottalanmiller clearly both the OP and HP are wrong, dual controllers CAN'T take out the entire enclosure. It's literally impossible..

          Get with the program!

              "We currently have 12*SAS 15k disks in RAID6 and hot spare (3 drives lost) in each SAN, 300Gb HDs in SAN1 (2.7TB), 600GB HDs in SAN2 (5.4 Tb)."

              No no you can only still lose two drives at once even with that hot spare.

                I've stopped emptying people's Recycle Bin because I keep finding out people "store stuff there" cause they "know how to find it" quickly.

                One particular boss of mine used to "store" stuff in the Recycle Bin (same with email trash) because it was so easy to just click <delete> on a file and know exactly where it went to find later. She would eventually purge trash items over a certain age.

                One too many times getting a deer-in-headlights look when someone found out I emptied the trash while cleaning up the system. "I wanted those files!!!!"

                      If you made a script to auto empty the trash, they would stop very quickly haha.

                        It's easier and faster for me to just drop your paycheck into the shredder, I think I'll do that from now on.

                                This has become incredibly common. It's insane.

                                  Yup, something that cleans on reboot, for example. Like how some UNIX systems make /tmp ephemeral.

                                    I thought by default Outlook liked to empty the trash bin? At least it used it... it warned you.. but if you clicked yet it was emptied.

                                      @Dashrender Don't believe so, at least not what i have seen. Its a setting that needs to be enabled.

                                      Probably a GPO that sets it somewhere?
