I am not going to take a stand on performance other then to say to both parties: prove your points. I personally believe that features and management characteristics are better comparison points between software and hardware RAID systems. Performance is and always will be a

2002-05-29 Thread Don Bowman
Can anyone tell me if gprof (ie compiling with -pg) is supposed to work with pthreads? I'm finding I get a null pointer from pthread_create(). Actually, the program counter becomes a null pointer, as in: #0 0x in ?? () #1 0x08052cd3 in osiThread::Start( ... ) I'm using gcc30 from the
