I was thinking 300dpi on letter paper gives you about 1mbyte, and you'd bloat it by 2x for redundancy, using both sides of the paper. But I guess 300 dpi is actually 300 dots per square inch, not 300 per linear inch, which means its only 10s of k per page. -----Original Message----- From: linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Leslie Rhorer Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 8:08 PM To: linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: md software raid > I'm guessing you could get about a megabyte per sheet of paper this way. You've got to be kidding! At 72 points/in, a font size of 8 allows for one byte and one space per inch, or about 10 bytes per line.
