You were saying that OS view of memory of node is something like the following ?

Node X: |MMMMMM------MMMMMM--------|
(legend) M: mirrored -: not mirrrored

If so, is this a real Box's configuration?
Sorry, I haven't got a real Address Range Mirror capable boxes yet ...
I thought mirroring range is concatenated at the first part of each node.

Sincerely,
Taku Izumi
