I hope changing ataraid doesn't mean removing the ability to access the=20 underlying devices that comprise a RAID array. Having this ability is quite useful as it allows you to monitor the status = of=20 the subdisks easily (with smartmontools) as well as do things like read the= =20 serial numbers (atacontrol cap adX), etc.. I don't know if you can use smartctl, atacontrol, etc with graid3 as I don'= t=20 use it. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1866131.qmogliA18N Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBF5WSi5ZPcIHs/zowRAiqmAJ90PeQ5pwHQNVccDw8A13TuH6HOSACfUXrs tvQQItQ6Q37iS05aCA/b+88= =gCiE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1866131.qmogliA18N--
