SUMMARY: QFS RAID5 Probs.

Although I am using the latest Solaris 9 and can happily make and use
UFS SVM filesystems greater than 1TB, I cannot use them with QFS. Silly and
annoying.

Thanks to Cris Lovett for telling me this. Of course I did not believe
him and so I tested it and he is correct. Ah well.

Regards,

Nick
