Not sure if that is it. I originally thought that it might be some
weird way of saying breaking a mirrored disk/volume, but I don't think
that that is it either. If you do a simple Google Groups search on
"break glass" you will see a specific ad on it. I may contact those
people directly asking them what they meant since no one else seems to
really know. I felt pretty dumb not knowing but now I don't feel so
bad.

Thanks.
