I'd say that "if it aint broke, don't fix it." > I still don't understand gmirror, how it works and how to properly set one > up. That's probably why I'm resistant to working with it. I think atacontrol scared me a bit because it is the "ATA device driver program" and this inbreeding between "managing hard disks" and "managing RAIDs" bothered me, and gmirror wsa new and shiny and not-so-well-documented, so I figured I'd make that work. It seems like there are a bunch of competing interfeces to the new geom stuff and eventually a few of them will turn out to be the popular ones, and the others will become this funky weird appendices like systat. And we'll look back on our respective decisions nostalgically. -danny -- http://dannyman.toldme.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
