(although it's only supported in EVMS - raidreconf has as many failure reports as success) David PS - OK, you said 'md' so technically you're right :) EVMS uses md but seems to have 'layered' stuff on top. I don't use it as I'm happy with mdadm and fine-grained control right now - others may like it more. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
