    Hi,
    
    	I need help on Mylex RAID-5 drive running on WIN-NT 4.0 SP1 .
    
     	What happens is that the drive F: with 4x4GB disks configured
    	as RAID-5 has been running into 'file corruption' conditions
    	from time to time. It begins to happen when there are *many*
    	files in the disk.
    
    	(This happened before we upgraded to NT 4.0! So NT 4.0 does
    	 not seem to know/fix the problem. )
    
    	Is there a limit on number of files in a drive in NT? If so,
    	what is the limit and what limits it? Can it be resolved ?
    
    	FYI:	All other drives (C,D,E) with 3*2GB are also configured
    		as RAID-5 too and they are running fine. No problem at
    		all.
    
    	So, what happens to the RAID-5 drive F: ?
    
    	Can someone please shed some lights on this?
    
    	Thanks and regards,
    
    /Jimmy
