I've only just fixed one problem in RAID-5 revive, and another one has
surfaced. For the moment: if you have a RAID-5 plex with a dead
subdisk, leave it that way. It's safer than restarting it. I think I
should have it fixed relatively quickly. Watch this space.

No, they are technically shareable, as long as you don't attept to
expect either of them at the software level to respond at a certain
time. This is why you can have COM2 and COM4 on the same interrupt in
windows or DOS, as long as you don't use them at the same time. The ISA
bus is a very simple
Sorry, been working a strange schedule this week. By resources, I meant kernel
resources such as kmem space, from what I have been hearing though, it seems as
though the kernel does a lot this stuff already. I dunno, but someone else
posted awhile back about this, so I was still interested.
