The outage ain't resolved until things are back to operating normally. If things aren't back to 100% healthy, could be I didn't truly find the root cause of the problem - in which case I'll probably be woken up again in 30 minutes when the problem comes back.

- creer 1y agoIt's fine that "many systems" can. But there is no easy way when the user or system can't. Flushing back to RAM is slow - that's not controversial. So it would help if there was a way to do this in advance of the need for the programs where that matters.
