@256 the warning signs were there. We just didn't want to see them.

@256 I worked on one of these. You had to carve out specific regions of storage space for specific LUNs or NFS mounts. It wasn't garbage collected so best practice was to reuse allocations unless there was no other way. Sometimes deleting an allocation worked, most of the time it did not.

@256 Ha! I worked with one of these!

I crashed the firmware on it. Very badly. That was an "exciting" day for everyone concerned.
