 Delimitations in version 5.05
 =============================

5.05:1	The maximum size of a disc that can be mirrored or archived is 4 GB.
	The disc will then be accessed directly from the drive.

5.05:2	The maximum number of discs that can be cached, and accessed
	simultaneously,	is 127.

5.05:3	With each StorPoint CD a maximum of 6 hard disks can be used for caching.

5.05:4	When archiving a disc that uses the drive's access rights, the archived
	volume gets the default SMB share level access rights. Access rights for
	other protocols will automatically be those set for the drive.

5.05:5	A user limit setting doesn't give a full guarantee about the number of
	concurrent users if SMB share level access control is used due to
	limitations in this protocol itself. A user that has timed out will get
	access even if the user limit has been reached.

5.05:6  The session time-out parameter used with any user limit setting is always
	set to 2 minutes.


 Known problems in 5.05:
 =======================

5.05:1	If a disc is marked and queued up for archiving through the Web
	administration interface or automatically queued up for mirroring, it
	must not be ejected before archiving or mirroring of that disc has been
	finished. The StorPoint might otherwise not detect a new disc.

	This problem will be solved in the next available release.
