well, the software raid howto did not say anything about how to join the mailing list. hopefully sending an email to it without having been subscribed will automatically give me the scoop. If not, sorry for the intrusion - could someone please send me the info? And, if this IS beeing seen by humans, then let me ask - when I try to performance test my raid setup, I get kernel panics, saying: Kernel panic: B_FREE inserted into queues anybody know why this should happen? I'll be happy to post my script if anyone wants to look it over (yeah, performance testing via script, ain't that the way we're supposed to do it? ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
