[ale] Viewing file time stamps, and USB raid enclosures

[Jim Kinney]

Well, you have advice on the atime, ctime so I'll drop in for the enclosure.
I have not seen a usb encloser with auto-mirror ability. That said, the
capability of that will be OS dependent so you can guess what support will
ship with the device, winders.

However, every USB enclosure is supported (unless it's _really_ weird) in
Linux now so focus instead on other features like cooling. The aluminium
boxes with ribbed exteriors will cool better than a plastic box. But many of
the plastic ones now have fans (noise!). The laptop size drives can be
powered from the USB port while the 3.5" drives will require an external
powerbrick.

The combo-boxes that support USB and eSATA connection are nice as they are
versatile.
