Acer M310 – Windows Phone 7.5

I use the Acer M310 about two month, it is pretty good. But there are no compass and gyroscope on this phone.

When I run the Microsoft PhotoSynth, it is not running very well. It seems to be the hardware limitation.

Different between remove mirror and break the mirror in Windows Server 2008 R2

(For your reference only, I only try in a VM one time to do the “remove mirror” and “break mirror”).

Remove mirror will also remove all the data on the designated mirror disk. (Disk A will keep current data, but Disk B will remove all the data and volume)

image

Break mirror will stop the mirroring of the volume, but it will keep the data in both disk. (Disk A and Disk B which creates two separate and independent volumes containing identical data)

image
Please do not try the “Remove mirror” or “Break mirror” in your production system unless you have full data backup and well prepare disaster recovery of your system. (Take your own risk)
