One that will have to go untested I'm afraid. These tests take a fair
while and you know how many pies I've got my fingers in right now just
on this project, never mind my paying gig and Uni!!

Yes.

Depends on my time. I have a couple of 29160's and some Seagate Cheetah
X15's knocking about.

Pass. I don't know the details of your problem, or how Peerdirect have
handled the IO. If I'm honest, I'm probably not experienced enough in
that sort of thing to know what's going wrong anyway :-(

Well I posted the source. If you pull out the libpq stuff then I guess
so. I only have DB2 and MSSQL here though (and they both fall over at
will anyway). Again though, I can't really spend time testing them just
for interest's sake (not at present anyway).
