There is some traffic on the list about the 3112, but I have a 3512, which does not have any list traffic about bugs. The major thing that needs doing is a detailed explanation of how to take two brand new disk drives and mirror them. Nothing in the documentation discusses this. Do you have to create file systems on the drives first? Do you have to use fdisk to slice them up? Is there a size limit on drives? I am trying to mirror two 400G drives, is this supported? There is no information anywhere that I can find about these topics. /Joe
