Linux vulnerable to corruption in power outage?
The sysadmins at my company say that Linux is prone to getting nuked by a
power outage. They say Windows machines always survive power outages but
Linux boxes often become unrecoverable (ie you can no longer boot the
machines). This came up because they told me the power company is shutting
off power to our offices for a long period of time so the admins wanted me
to shut down all the Linux boxes to which I alone have access before the
outage.
What is the story here, I thought Linux was supposed to be robust? Is
there some process I should be running to avoid my Linux boxes from
getting nuked by a power outage?
