I'm not sure what you're saying here. I've made it clear (even in the man pages) that there are some problems with RAID-5. What else (apart from fix the problem :-) do you want me to do? > I also set him account on that maschine, to check and debug problems > on that maschine and repair them, but he wasn't interested in > solving such problems.

The last exchange we had (27 November 2000), you didn't want to submit the information I asked for, I said I wouldn't be able to help you much without it, and you said you would go back and get the information. I don't see anything about being offered an account on the machine, which indeed would have been of assistance. But basically, all I needed at that point was a (preferably unmutilated) copy of the information I asked for. Based on what you supplied, I don't even know if you had a panic or just a freeze. > Vinum and RAID5 under 4.1 is not stable. That's all. Ah, but there's the problem. There are no changes between 4.1 and 4.2. In some cases, we run into these problems, but for the most part it just works.
