If the disk partially fails, operation of a cache engine would be interrupted. This should result in the router excluding this particular cache engine from WCCP as a fail-safe mode. If not, the software needs a simple sanity check to shut itself down (forcing WCCP into a "standby mode" for this cache engine entity to allow for a "limp home" mode). This has nothing to do with WCCP itself. > But of course, no one implements technology today before its been > thoroughly matured with a million years of uptime. Of course.
