Raid worked as long as nothing failed, but reconstructing a drive was somewhere between very painful and not possible. Now I will have to upgrade hardware soon, which means I could switch from NetBSD (and Raidframe) to FreeBSD (with gvinum) again. I would like to because NetBSD seems to have some kind of memory leak in connection with Samba and large or many files, but I'd rather have a somewhat unstable Samba than an unstable Raid, so what's the state of affairs? Cheers Felix P.S.: I've tried google but have not come up with anything useful short of reading the actual code, which is way over my level. --=20 "A discordian shall always use the official discordian document=20 numbering system." -- The Second Discordian Commandment --Sig_HIjdFFjXwvYYxmHWXSvD_6v Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Enrcypt your mail with GnuPG! iD8DBQFFVKPEh3KJlP+0/PsRApGQAKCe6UPbUGpycXkiDnqBdz8soxd8jgCfUf6m yz+/J2BXDFJpyKoqSvhLJhA= =VRuk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_HIjdFFjXwvYYxmHWXSvD_6v--
