Otsuka-san,

   I've just come back from a trip abroad and can't see any other
   answers to your email, so although this is rather late...

   Welcome! I'm sorry you had a tough time finding the list. Where 
   should we be advertising?

% Has anyone tried software raid 1 on linux?

% I have RedHat 4.2 (kernel 2.030) with Raid 1 patched and recompiled. Now

% If you have any experence with this, please send any commnets. Thanks.

   I've tried *some* simple RAID configurations with Linux.  I only
   tried striping and concatenation though, as the documentation
   indicates that there are major problems ("pathological unstability")
   with mirroring. What are the problems you're having?
