Why not use md's description instead of mdadm' content? I think this may be better,especially for people who's native language is not English. ------------------ kedacomkernel 2012-04-16 ------------------------------------------------------------- 发件人:NeilBrown 发送日期:2012-04-16 14:01:18 收件人:kedacomkernel 抄送:linux-raid 主题:Re: question about raid10 near copy info in man mdadm.

"likely" is different from "certainly". In most cases they are the same offset. In some cases they are different offsets. I think "likely" describes that well enough. > > I think the word "similar" is the same. "similar" is not the same as "same", though it is similar ..... "same" means there is no difference. "similar" means there might be a difference, but it is not a big difference. Does that clear it up? NeilBrown ?韬{.n?????%??檩??w?{.n???{炳盯w???塄}?财??j:+v??????2??璀??摺?囤??z夸z罐?+?????w棹f
