You can fix the "cable kick" problem for less than $5 with these: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=292685-1781-45-1MBUVL&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3128405&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=rel&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1 and these: http://www.lowes.com/pd_220871-1781-45-311UVL_0__?productId=3128261&Ntt=cable+tie&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FVa%3Dtrue%26Ntt%3Dcable%2Btie and have most of them left over for other uses. You'll get strain relief and kick protection, especially if you use two on each chassis. Though, if you are actually kicking or tripping over the cable, you'll simply end up jerking your equipment off the table and damaging it, instead of just having the eSATA plug pop out. I'm really curious to understand why/how your cables are exposed to "kicking" or other detachment due to accidental contact. -- Stan -- 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
