Additional info:

For cross-platform servers, this can be a large problem. A dual-boot
setup for using MS StreamCAST server software, then booting to Linux
for normal server use, and not being able to retrieve StreamCAST data
for logging and reviewing of security flaws can be quite horrid. Also,
data loss from Platform-to-Platform migration is a serious issue.
