Be that as it may, with all that Peter wrote in the last 24 hours I tend to weigh his expertise a bit less than I did before. YMMV, but his descriptions of his data center do not instill a very high confidence, do they ? While it may be true that genius math people may make lousy server admins (and vice versa), when I read someone claiming there are random undetected errors propagating through raid, yet this person cannot even regulate his own "random, undetected" power supply problems, then I start to wonder. Would you believe that at one point, for a minute I wondered whether Peter was actually a troll ? (yeah, sorry for that, but it happened...) So no, he apparently is employed at a Spanish university, and he even has a Freshmeat project entry, something to do with raid... So I'm left with a blank stare, trying to figure out what to make of it.
