The distinction between "disabled" and "fail" is useful when the OS knows how to enable a node (e.g. by manipulating muxing).So a node that is marked as status=fail is not necessarily an unrecoverable failure?No, it's "disabled" that is not necessarily unrecoverable.
I'm not sure that "fail" is necessarily unrecoverable either, though I do think it means that whatever attached the "fail" tag didn't know how to recover it. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
