As somebody else has already pointed out -- "There must be more to it." Let's say three of four drives failed -- the odds of them failing at the same time are vanishingly slim; but if you're not paying attention, and you operate with a degraded volume, well... then you get what you deserve. RAID or no RAID, the site should have one or more mirrors. -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
