=:^) But seriously, thanks Bob for pointing out the misspelling. There's a Mark (with a k) that's quite active on the btrfs list (and has in fact done quite a bit of testing on the raid56 stuff, and written most of several related pages on the btrfs wiki), and I guess my brain has so associated him with the btrfs discussion context that without actually thinking about it, I was thinking this was the same "Mark" here. So pointing out that it's actually Marc-with-a-c here actually alerted me to the fact that it's not the same person, and very possibly saved a very confused Duncan from making quite a fool of himself in some future post either here or there as a result! So thanks VERY MUCH, Bob! =:^) (FWIW, my first name is John. But at least in my generation there's so many Johns around, and Duncan as a last name isn't uncommon either, that in fact there are quite a few John Duncans around too, and it's all horribly confusing. I even worked with a Donna at one point, and in a fairly noisy environment all you hear for either is the ON bit, so we were always either both or neither answering to calls for either one of us, since neither could easily hear which one they actually called. So I switched to the mononym "Duncan". That has been MUCH less confusing over the decades I've been using it, now. Anyway, I can definitely identify with first-name confusion. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
