I guess I should qualify the original statement in the interest of fairness: So far only with the Gen11 Dell servers. R710 etc.with H700 and a couple of other PERC RAID controllers seem to be the ones that have this policy. So, it seems only their new and cutting edge hardware has this. I still feel this isn't the right approach. -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
