reusedlt *yes
V5R3 PTF MF34478 has something to do with reuse of deleted records. Actually, PTF MF34836 is the latest supercede PTF. It has a lot of co-reqs, so I would install the latest HIPER PTF package (SF99529)along with the Database group package (SF99503)and of course, the Cumulative PTF Package of SF99530. Good luck!

Network Appliance gfiler vs. EMC’s NAS Gateway
To the best of my knowledge, vendors go out of their way to avoid “apples to apples” comparisons of their products. Various trade magazines, like Storage magazine, will do comparisons from time-to-time, so keep an eye out for that. I think they’re doing a NAS piece in the June issue. That being said, you can [...]

Installing RAID 1 on XP machines or use server software?
NEVER use software RAID on a mission critical machine. Recovery (I do that for a living) is difficult. A decent RAID contrioller will also monitor disk health.
