Hi Folks,

Two IDE 200G drives.
One of the drives /dev/hdc has 6 partitions
The other drive /dev/hdd only one

I want to mirror /hdc onto /hdd with raid-1. Two questions: 

1. Is it safe to mkraid /dev/md0 when the system is live - multiuser
environment where hdc contains users home space. Or does the system have
to be idle and on single run level?

2. Is it ok to say: 
raiddev /dev/md0
...
       device          /dev/hdc
...
        device          /dev/hdd
...

I've noticed that most examples available, refer to a partition instead of an entire 
hard drive.

Thank you.
Rafael.
