There are some RAID systems that you'd rather not have redundant power on. Think encryption. As long as a system is online, it's normal for it to have encryption keys in memory and it's disk systems mounted through the decryption system. You wouldn't want someone to be able to steal your server along with the UPS and stuff it in a van with a power inverter :-). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
