This statement is ridicuous by virtue of not being in touch with reality and by making gmirror useless for such wide range of cases that one can question why we have it at all. Put differently: a mirroring class is a fairly basic and useful thing to have. Limiting it's use is nothing but artificial and follows from having to use the underlying provider to store metadata. This then changes the view of the underlying providing to consumers above gmirror in a way that makes the presence or absence of gmirror visible. Solving the visibility problem makes gmirror useful all the time. I see that as a better way of looking at it than simply blurting out that you shouldn't use gmirror when certain awkward and artifical conditions apply. -- Marcel Moolenaar marcel_at_xcllnt.netReceived on Wed Jun 27 2012 - 15:45:49 UTC
