Just spread every raid1 over different controllers. If you loose a disk, you may loose a disk from two different raid1's but at least the system doesn't die. I can't think of any raid1 setup where you would have to put both disks on one controller unless it is your only controller. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
