I would do this: Partition all 3 disks the same way. Create a software RAID1 for the boot partition using those partitions. You'll have an extra partition so use it as a hot-spare. When setting up your boot-loader, just remember to run the init routines on all 3 drives and you'll be set. -Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
