Modified files:
en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom chapter.sgml
Log:
Significant cleanup/rewrite of GEOM Striping section.
* This chapter claims to be about striping, but talks about
disk concatenation in some paragraphs. Remove all references to
concatenation, add a brief paragraph explaining what striping is and
why it provides superior I/O performance through parallel I/O to
multiple disks simultaneously.
* Do not alternate between calling striping raid0 and raid1.
Consistently refer to it as raid0, as raid1 is mirroring.
* Cleanup / reorganize the example set of commands for creating a
stripe of two ATA disks. Wrap it in a DocBook <procedure> tag with
individual <steps> to provide a title for this procedure and make the
numbered steps very clear to follow without confusing verbiage and
side tangents adding confusion.
* Expand 'redundant array of inexpensive disks' in <acronym> tag for
mouseover on first use of HTML output.
* Remove some poorly worded, confusing, and contradictory sentences
and paragraphs.
