RAID-5 microkernel has more lines of code then Oracle7? Wow! This is an
astonishing piece of information and if it wasn't coming from you, I'd
dismiss it as yet another conspiracy theory.

...Because if they don't sell RAID5, they don't recover the R&D costs of
creating a RAID5 microkernel that has more lines of code than the Oracle7
executable. I'm not kidding.

I'm curious now. Pictures required.
Meanwhile I have never understood why storage vendors would prefer
selling RAID5 over RAID10. More disks=more profit surely? Also 10 > 5
therefore self evidently twice as good for all applications. Meanwhile
we have this strange situation where performance consultants are
publicising the fact that you have less need for performance consultants
with RAID10 than with RAID5.
