[Leica] announcing the "imagestore" list

[piers at hemy.org (Piers Hemy)]

Amen, Spencer, you remind me of the friend who took the advice of an expert
to set up dual hard disks with mirroring, supposedly to automate backup (I
can't say if it was RAID-1 or not).  

It worked perfectly, as specified ...

... and duly mirrored a corrupted file allocation table from primary disk to
secondary disk.

To the best of my knowledge, nothing was recoverable from 2 years of work.

Lesson learned by one chastened user, at least.  But it wasn't me, and I
suspect that I therefore am due to be taught a lesson.  Here's hoping the
imagestore list will prove fruitful - there have been some true nuggets of
storage wisdom here in the past few days.

Mark,

It's more like plug and pray when something doesn't work. It may work when
you first plug your RAID box in but when the RAID box start misbehaving and
you have a year or 2 of your work on it, what do you do? Pray. :) B&H ain't
going to help you then. :(
