I am using an Adaptec RLL controler with ESIX 3.2.2d...  ESIX _KNOWS_ that
it is using an RLL drive-- and tells me that everytime it gives me:

"NOTICE: Adapter RLL Disk Unit 1 (System disk 1): optimization changed from..."

I dont know how it knows what type of drive it is-- or how/when to change 
the optimization-- but it does.  Quite well in fact...


BTW:  Why does it change the optimization 'algorithm' anyway?  It does it
about once a day, and I'd like to know why...
