Dunno what all the fuzz is about... But i'm running 2 raid1 arrays. One
16mb /dev/md0
for boot, and one 15gb /dev/md1 as root. If u go into rh6.1's graphic
install u can choose
if u want an ext2 or a raid device. Go ahead and try it out. Worked
perfectly here, just
2day i janked out the primary ide controller (when the system was off
obviously) and it
neatly booted up in degraded mode. I reconnected the cable and did a
raidhotadd -a and
everything reconstructed. All is fine again.
