HI,

I've just seen a mention of disk striping code in a FreeBSD newsgroup.

>From that article it was unclear if striping was only available on
SCSI disks or all disks in general (with similar geometries supposedly).

We have a trusty machine still running 1.1.5 with two identical IDE
drives.  I'm waiting until 2.1 to upgrade this machine.  Will I be
able to use the striping when I upgrade ?

{ BTW here is my vote for a rock solid 2.1.  I'm not concerned if
it is delievered in August/September even (though obviously sooner
is better 8-) ).  Buggy releases do nothing for the image IMHO
(surprise, surprise !!). I can understand there must be a lot of
pressure to produce the CDs however.}
