Garbled files under FMS 5.5

Has anyone ever experienced this ? FM Server 5.5 serving to 3 or 4 users with FM Pro 6.

Mac G5 running OS X 10.3.4. Server daemon is set to auto-start using the normal conventional

startup file.

The server (and everything else) suffered a power fail. On restarting, not only were the statuses

of current record ID's reset to mad values (we use these to tag records), but files contained

records with field contents from other records ! ! The whole shared database (4 files) was a mess

and necessitated a lot of manual reconstruction. Very bad news.

I can understand a simple record corruption on power fail, and the loss of currently accessed record

is not a heavy price to pay, but this situation was the worst I have seen in 30 years of application

programming.

Clues, anyone ? (Yes, I know we should have had a UPS in place ;-) We have NOW !)
