Re: HAMMER and RAID question

Greetings,

I am not purposefully trying to be difficult, but rather trying to 
understand.

My thinking that having the mirroring within the filesystem, combined 
with the reblocking code, hot swap (connect/disconnect) and the smart 
mountpoints would actually be a very smooth experience also in 
single-server configurations.

Ah, there always /is/ hardware RAID.  Maybe that would still just be the 
way to go.


Thank you for your answer!
