I want to be able to recover from a single disk-failure and power-fail conditions in all cases, not just in 50%. 3ware is simply unable to recover from some situations where recovery is possible (reported to them at least two times). Maybe they will understand this sometimes. I think that I have a right to get my data back if it's possible. It was extremly hard to explain them LGPL and the fact that they violated it; so I expect not too much. To not publish the specs is really extremly unfair; it just shows how they care about my data. -- ciao - Stefan
