Hi folks,

The drobo-utils package is kind of running on autopilot. the source is here: http://github.com/petersilva/drobo-utils

If anyone wants to improve it, go for it!

the old page ... I need to point it to github... but drobo-utils.sf.net still works and the info is mostly good, except about getting source code.

With those caveats, enjoy!
