[ENBD] enbd 2.4.31 RAID 1 documentation

[Pete Black]

Peter,

thanks for the quick response, thats great.

The docs I am looking at are up on the webpage at:

http://www.it.uc3m.es/ptb/enbd/

under the section: 'Late news - intelligent mirroring'


and also contained in the READMEs packed in the enbd-2.4.31.tgz package

Regards,

Pete
