I can't figure out whether you're castigating people who need more than 8TiB, castigating people who need less, applauding people who need more than 8TiB, applauding people who need less, saying that people who need more than 8TiB should use RAID 10, saying that people who need more should use RAID 6, or *what*. All I can tell is that you want to be as unpleasant as possible while saying it. (I suspect this ambiguity is intentional, so that no matter what people assume you meant, you can flame them for not interpreting it the other way.) But then that's not surprising because you've morphed again to try to escape from people's killfiles. Back you go into mine, *yet again*. -- NULL && (void)
