Mortals, which is to say people with meetings and more than one system to nurse, have other demands on their time.

"Enterprise" hardware, and software should not catastrophically fail without warning that comes out of the box, and for sure not fail totally before shipping kicks in.

No names no pack drill ...

But a company I know of bought a commercial raid-6 array. Cue a massive panic a couple of years down the line when an operator suddenly noticed two red lights indicating a double drive failure. Nobody'd been checking the raid.

So they had people who were supposed to be looking after it. So it did try to tell them something was wrong. And still they just dodged a catastrophic failure by pure luck rather than judgement.

Cheers,
