Yes, and both those people provided very specific detailed
instances and
descriptions of their issue, which is what I was objecting to in
your posts.
I actually know myself of a couple of very obscure configurations
with very
specific kinds of hardware/software where the M/S system breaks
down, but
these instances are far from the norm. I would place Ric's example
in that
same category. James' example was of something that existed in the
past, a
controller that is "now obsolete" as he put it.
Well, how do you know that the original poster on this subthread has
what you call normal hardware?Do you have a list of drive and
controller combinations that are golden together? Do you know for
sure that guy has two drives that are okay together on the controller
he's hanging them on? Do you have a test suite for him so that he can
get a level of confidence that his configuration is okay? Can you
explain every instance of corruption that's reported on the web?
It's been fun chatting, but I have to work tomorrow, and I still
haven't finished restoring my family's e-mail rules on this box. I've
stated my opinions, you've attacked them, my opinions are unchanged,
but I'm gonna let this thread drop.
