Thanks for this, I'm currently trying to debug my config, when I try to mount ONE of the servers 24 bricks, it's only showing capacity like it's mounting ONE of the bricks, logs error is: [2010-05-03 11:18:35] W [posix.c:246:posix_lstat_with_gen] posix1: Access to /mnt/data01//.. (on dev 16771) is crossing device (2257) What is this telling me? I'm looking at just dropping back to mirroring 2 servers, and replicating from there, then try against all 6. I'll post my config in a bit.
