Hey, don't blame me.  Volutil calls the disk drives "volumes."   A number of volumes, can be called a bunch of volumes or perhaps a
set of volumes, or even a volume set.  But when a disk crashes, you can also say a volume has crashed.

Sorry for the voluminous retort. :)

('twould be curious to see a whole volume fail all at once... :-)

having lived thru a number of disc failures....i don't remember <blush>  it may be one of
those 'it depends' kinda things.  seems to me the system will certainly hang....  if a
process is marked 'critical' and is wanting to access something on the failed drive, then

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.
