I don't know about uncommon, given that I have six machines in this building with three way RAID-1 for the boot partition, to be sure I can get off the ground enough to get the other partitions up. And since you added "write-mostly" for remote mirrors I do have a few systems doing >2 mirrors as well. This set of patches definitely will be in my kernel by this afternoon. -- bill davidsen CTO TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with small computers since 1979
