I tried for a while then gave up and just went with gmirror as some people even suggested that it'd probably behave better. Remember that having a raid is only a small part of the answer. Don't forget monitoring, backups and testing of those backups. A RAID won't take you far if a fire happens or any other physical accident. 2009/5/20 Ivan Voras : > hi, > > Is the product described at: > > http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr1520.htm > > a "real" (not soft-) RAID?
