The machines are for grant funded work by a relatively small number

RAID-0 is not a mirror, RAID-1 is.
I took it to mean that he was referring to RAID 0+1 (two RAID-0 striped

Hello folks,
For Linux / Unix servers, it is kind of tempting to just change system
time to UTC, forget about future modifications to DST, and get used to
making sense of the logs in UTC time. However, things like cron jobs
