As author of this RAID code I would like to know, how did you see this in
your mind:
- As MySQL command "DISTRIBUTE TABLES ...."?
- As some kind of external script?
- Other way?
I would like to implement this feature but currently I do not see an
smooth way to do it. Maybe something like "LINK RAID DIR 1 to
/mnt/bigdisk" ?
