Just the bios memory test at startup. I'll see what I can find on the disk
diagnostics (its a recent IDE disk, so I guess anything's possible there).
So much for testing LVM snapshots :-( (BTW, the workload I described is the
worst case for us; I trust it of more general interest in testing the
ability to take backups from snapshots under heavy load?)
Thanks again,
