Some, but perhaps you would not like them :-). BTW I wonder whether the design was as (euphemism) stunning as using 5400/5900RPM drives with 4KiB hardware sectors (such as many current 2TB drives) without alignment, because it would be a suitably (euphemism) extreme achievement in line with those above. -- 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
