Good idea IMHO. When we will be able to specify the redundancy modes on a file by file basis it will make it much less confusig for the users to talk about double, triple replication or [single|double]-parity. It's a bit silly to talk about "Arrays of Disks" when we mean groups of blocks. -- Hubert Kario QBS - Quality Business Software ul.
