Nope - the only thing 'selection bias' says is that inferences drawn from a non-representative dataset will also be non-representative. Drawing an inference of 'raid rebuilds are slow' from a mailing list people come to when they need to report an issue will overemphasize problems and deemphasize cases where everything is working properly. Also, no matter how quickly a rebuild goes, it's still longer than people would like. No matter how quickly it finishes, you're still in a stressed state where something has _already_ gone wrong and your parachute is now in use and unable to save you a second time. -- 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
