That may be true, but after Vinum made my life a living hell, I have given up on the idea of software RAID in general. I'd rather have a dedicated piece of hardware. (Vinum may be a very excellent piece of software now - it was a long time ago when it destroyed my database, and I'm sure there has been a lot of work done on it. I've just gone off the idea in principle.) -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
