Does the Coraid applience implement RAID in hardware or does it use

if a coraid appliance were pcie-attached rather than ethernet attached,
would you still ask this question? do you think the block diagram of coraid
hardware looks fundamentally different than the block diagram of a raid
card?

I think he is trying to get you to divulge details on the software
running on the coraid appliance itself. We all know it is plan 9 based
(right?), so it would be interesting to know how this extra
functionality of raid was added. I know these are trade secrets though
so I've never asked.
I would still ask that question if it were pcie attached. Curiosity
will be my undoing though.
