Reason I ask: I am setting up a pair of Intel SS4200-EHW NAS boxes with OpenFiler 2.3 I am planning to set up RAID5 on one and RAID10 on the other one. Openfiler installs kernel 2.6.26-8 I see from reading here that apparently a number of bugs and issues have been resolved with later kernels What would YOU do? -- Regards, Maurice --------------020408030505080902090104 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="mhilarius.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mhilarius.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Maurice Hilarius n:Hilarius;Maurice org:Hard Data Ltd. adr:;;11060 - 166 Avenue;Edmonton;AB;T5X 1Y3;Canada email;internet:mhilarius@gmail.com title:President tel;work:780-456-9771 tel;fax:780-456-9772 tel;home:780-456-1510 tel;cell:780-906-7359 url:http://harddata.com version:2.1 end:vcard --------------020408030505080902090104--
