It will delay synchronous writes, because the write is not returned until the mirrored disk is updated. Asynchronous writes do not delay the return since it occurs when the primary disc is updated. On Tue, Feb 1, 2022 at 5:50 PM Peter wrote: > > Hello > > Recently we were a victim of storage

As best I can tell, Bookmanager support ended in 2014. If that's the case I would assume the chance of ever getting any kind of maintenance to it is nil. Does it even need to be kept in SMP/E anywhere or could you just copy the runtime libraries to the 2.4 system and let them be? Rex
