Hello!
Can I use RAID10 device as a device bridge?
If I trying to create device bridge on RAID10 without any volume, I getting "no-active" status on device bridge. If I trying to create device bridge with volume, but without letter I getting same error.

Why would you like to use disk-bridges? Virtual images are much better.

I think that disk-bridge will run faster because they do not operte the Windows file system. Or I'm wrong?

I've did a lot of comparison testing. Be sure that windows file system (or VMFS, or windows clustered file system or all together) do not influence the performance at all.

Vlalislav, thank you! I learned everything I wanted. In service, the virtual image is much more convenient, chose it.
