If the complete server dies: No. Only disks or controllers: yes. If you use the watchdog script, you can set it up that it automatically the file systems are mounted and an fsck is executed. You still must make the users aware that they must use the LeconteB instead of the LeconteA server. You could consider IP masquerading, but physically, the master and backup system are 2 different IP addresses and servers.
