Re: [Cooker] supermount or alternate fs mounter ?

2002-10-29 Thread Alan Hughes
The problem is that AFAIK other auto mounters are user-space applications that work by periodically checking to see if a mount point is no longer used, and if so then unmounting it. Typically this check occurs at 30 second intervals (although I understand that most allow you to configure this

Re: [Cooker] 9.0 and next

2002-09-25 Thread Alan Hughes
I think one positive point is that the Beta/RC cycle was much longer this time round, giving people a lot more time to find problems and report them. With 8.2 the Beta/RC cycle was very quick, so a lot of problems made it through to the final release that franckly should not have been there.

The problem with the RAID array being hosed when you create a file system has a simple explination. HPT raid controllers are normally termed WinRAID devices; they rely on specialised device drivers to provide the RAID functionality (as against true RAID controllers which use embedded software).
