I was already reading this howto when I got home and rebooted the system (having created the mirror between hda and hdc and going to bed last night). I wasn't paying attention until Tux appeared in the upper left corner of the screen and the kernel messages started flying by. Granted, it's not the bootscreen I'm used to seeing but it'll do... But it takes for freakin EVER to get there. I'd gander about 30 seconds after the Grub "Loading" message is pasted to the screen... But it takes this system so long to identify the drives it shouldn't surprise me. So much for competing for boot-times :( And I was hoping for a <1minute boot. heheh. It doesn't start loading the kernel in that amount of time :)
Anyway, it looks like the BigBlock v1.0 machine will remain HWRaid... But this discussion has been deeply informational. I will be experimenting with SW RAID in the near future and perhaps BigBlock v1.1 or v1.2 will be using SWRAID instead of the HPT 1540 that v1.0 is using. This is the FCS (aka Pilot) system for a new line in Network Service Appliances my company is marketting. She's not done yet, but the deadline is a crunching :!
