Then I'd guess you're not subbed to other storage specific lists, such as linux-scsi, linux-ide, xfs, etc. Obviously not everyone uses this jargon, but it's becoming much more common. I've been using it myself for quite some time. Some people use "SRD" as well meaning "spinning rusty disk". You'll commonly see "array of rust", "rusty RAID6", "SRD array", etc. "rust" is here to stay. Get used to it. -- Stan
