Apparently the A5000 has been replaced by the A5100 due to "issues" with
the 5000....
Don't know what that means though.....
Anyway, I don't want disksuite for linux, I would much rather see the
Linux RAID tools developing as they have been...... It has even been
commented recently that the raidtools might be merged with 2.2 at some
stage and this would be really useful (Although with raid enabled LILO we
could really start cooking with gas, but I guess that would have to wait!)
