I still don't understand why people use partitions for RAID when the whole drive is used anyway. Partitions were invented to partition things up and are of no use if you want to spend the whole drive's space for RAID use (or otherwise).

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
