- I don't understand your information, you're saying that we need a very
- clean hard disk to make Informix work, and I understand with this that
- Informix doesn't have a bad block rellocation schema and I think this
- is elemental.
- In other way, you said that if we set MIRROR=1 we'll be able to restart
- the system, but at what cost, doble disk space needed??
