YYYYYYYYYYEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
I know it's a bit kludgy and does not really fit the philosophy of libata but it works and it lets
me keep an eye on my drives *now*.
Although just for good measure I'll probably unmount and stop my raid arrays before I use it on the
disks. Whats it like for locking on a busy system?

Brad
