define "fragile as hell"?  Sure, there may be some missing features=20
but as far as "large fast striped volumes", I've _never_ had a problem=20
with any of my ccd's except in the case where one of the disks failed=2E
    =20
Since recovery from hardware failure isn't in the current feature-set,=20
I don't call that a fault=2E
    =20
Missing features does not equate to fragile=2E
    =20
    =20
