Baarf is invented by James Morle on Wednesday the 4th of June, 2003, in the Grange hotel outside A beer or two with Mogens Nørgaard.
On the following day-thursday the 5th of June, which happens to is the Danish national holiday celebrating our Constitut Ion-the Battle agaist any Raid Five initiative is announced jointly by James and Mogens in front of the UK Oracle User Group UNIX Special Interest Group meeting at the Grange Hotel.
Both announcers were careful to sport the ' enough is enough ' look (including arms, folded the across) while chest G The message to about delegates.
It's important to note, which is RAID-3, -4, and-5 are all included in the initiative, so the F. Baarf both stands for Five , Four, and ... err ... Free.
The reason for Baarf are that we ' ve had it. Enough is enough. For years a lot to the world's best database experts have been arguing back and forth with people (vendors and others) About the pros and cons of RAID-3,-4 and-5.
Cary Millsap has written excellent articles on RAID technologies that should have stopped the Use-and pointless NS many years ago. Many others have written splendid articles about it as. Many.
James Morle and others have written books where they discussed the uselessness of raid-f stuff.
It has been the same arguments, the same mistakes, the same misunderstandings that have guided the discussions to all tho Se years.
The same frustrations from people to knew Raid-f is not a good choice.
The laws of nature are still solidly into place and are not going to is changed by RAID-F vendors anytime.
So we ' ve decided to stop arguing and debating with people about it. We'll lower our blood pressure permanently by refusing to have any more arguments about it.
We ' re done. It ' s done. Everything has been said. It ' s time to action–and making up your mind.
You can join Baarf. Or not. You ' re either in. Or not.
We'll of course form the Baarf party, and we'll arrange various baarf party conventions where we'll proudly display our logo, which says "I ' m not talking anymore about RAID-5." Join us. Or not. ' –or something to that effect.
We'll collect the usual horror stories about raid-f stuff and customers being and cheated.
The Baarf party would have its own equivalent of the Iraqi Information minister to deliver key notes at their conventions.
But no more discussions.
