[comp.os.research] Disk reliability

pbg@cs.brown.edu (02/06/90)

I'm interesting in finding any references to disk reliability
techniques, specifically disk striping and disk arrays of magnetic
disks.  Is there an overview paper available, or at least some
technique-specific ones?  Mail to me and I'll summarize (if there is
interest).  Thanks.
