Having used ccd extensively for the past year, on production news server systems, I think I can safely state that you need not concern yourself too much with "striping crashes"... you are more likely to run into a dead disk than a problem with ccd. I have over two dozen heavily utilized ccd partitions in operation and have not seen any problems with ccd. If you are looking purely for reliability, look for a RAID solution. RAID's are more reliable than a SLED (Single Large Expensive Disk). If you are looking for speed, either RAID or striping may be appropriate. Since I am generally interested primarily in speed, I use ccd and its striping capabilities. ... JG
