Re: 4.0 sysinstall fails to recognize disks

    I get scared when lay-prorammers talk about Low-Leveling a disk :-).  
    There are virtually no programmers outside of RAID-land (and those are
    usually considered insane anyway :-)) who should ever have to LL a disk.
    I think I've LL'd maybe one SCSI disk in the last fifteen years.

    That said, today's disks are far less likely to blow up if you LL them
    then older (over 7 years) disks since there isn't a clock track any more.
