[AccessD] WHS on Raid

Sorry Michael, I did not read down far enough, to where they mention the
"file duplication".  So this is a Windows Home Server specific bug.  I had
been reading about a very similar "bug" which is not a bug at all.

In the end this (soon) won't affect me anyways as I am going to do a
hardware raid solution in order to fix a real "bug" in WHS which is that you
may lose backups if you lose a hard disk.  Raid solves that, and in the
process makes the shared folder backup concept unnecessary.

I just ordered a hardware raid controller.  I have a set of (8) 320 gb hard
drives that I need to upgrade slowly to 1 tbyte drives.  So I am going to
move these 320 gb drives over to WHS (on a raid card) and get some more use
out of them.

John,

I don't know anything about WHS, but I saw this and thought it might be
important for you to see:
