Are you talking about write-intent bitmaps? I don't think they prevent inconsistency, so much as speed the resync. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_Install_on_Software_RAID#Write-intent_bitmap There are other situations when inconsistency can occur, though I'm not sure how they compare to a hardware raid situation. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_Install_on_Software_RAID#Caveat Gavin -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
