That's it! I do recall its being something of a nuisance to
configure. But it seemed to work well for me once it was. Alas, there
wasn't much it could do about two identical disks that were treated
identically for some years from failing within a day or two of one
another

Obviously, ZFS is a lot more capable. But I think I recognize a bit
of its origin there.

That sounds cool. I should think up a reason that I need to store 12
TB of data.
