Re: RE: Add drives and balance data

[bdietz400@xxxxxxxxx]

Pete, I have noticed that when you choose, thru DST/SST, to add and balance  
that the system marks the drives as read only as it balances the data.

I feel that it does it that way to prevent new user data from hitting them  
until they are balanced.
