Is it useable for production systems? What is the recommended code basis? Our customers are _VERY_ conservative (read: bankers), so they are mostly going with mirrors or striped mirrors. Is there any performance data for different work loads? Eg. how does it work for file service with different file sizes, read/write patterns. Since most of our customers need database storage RAID1 still seems to be the best appoach.
