Well, you're right that someone's grand parents shouldn't have to read source
code to use a desktop computer. But I wouldn't be expecting them to set up or
recover a striped LVM device either, which is what this thread is about.

David's point about the source code being the canonical home of what is going
on is a good one. And for a forensic operation, which is not something performed
by mere mortals, you want to be damned sure you know what is going on.
