Hi Rod,

Did you ever make any progress on this?  If not, I will (try to) look at
it, but I'd prefer that somebody that knows what the heck they're doing down
within the device driver code putz with it..  :-)

Having recently seen Solaris' Online: DiskSuite, which suffers from fairly
significant performance degradations, I'm curious to see what a real
operating system can do.  ;-)

Thanks,

... Joe
