When stupid people say stupid things, the dispute is not about the facts or opinions in the argument itself, but rather the person involved. There is the possibility this is more than stupidity, it really borders on maliciousness. Any ethical code of conduct for a list will accept ad hominem attacks over the willful dissemination of provably wrong information. When stupid assholes throw users under the bus with provably wrong (and bad) advice, it becomes something of an obligation to resort to name calling. Of course, I'd also like the wiki to clearly state the only profile that tolerates more than one device loss is raid6; and be very explicit with the manifestly wrong terminology being used by Btrfs's raid10 terminology. That is a fairly egregious violation of common terminology and the trust we're supposed to be developing, both in the usage of common terms, but also in Btrfs specifically. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
