Hi listers,
I'm using NT 4.0 sp5 on industrial systems, and I had some problems with NT system (BSOD Blue Screen Of Death), and the cause was not clear. The PC is switched on in the morning and off in the evening, and the applications seems to be stable. They can run 6 months without any problems, and system can crash (perhaps hard disk problem or PC power shutdown while running,
or...)
I am not capable to prevent NT from crashing, so here is my solution: redundancy systems Generally, I share hard disk in 4 partitions. The 2 first are identical systems (NT4), the third
contains data for reinstallations of applications, the fourth is a little partition of 400 Mo dedicated to swap. The 3 first partitions are formatted in NTFS, and the fourth in FAT. The swap is separated from systems and formatted in FAT for better performances. I prepare also a CD-ROM with a file corresponding to an image of
the system (created with a tool like ghost)
Perhaps it is better so separate the system and the applications, in order to avoid hard disk access to system partition.
Is anyone has some experiences or other solutions for redundancy systems, or for reinstalling rapidly or at a distance a complete system with applications. Do you know software capable to create and restore an image file of a partition in NTFS system file. Ghost needs fat16 or fat32.
Thank you
