Hello,

I have a question about RAIDframe driver (using in RAID1 mode).

GENERIC kernel doesn't support it, so it's need to compile custom
kernel. As described in FAQ it's  not recommended. Also additional
complexity for kernel is not good as I think. And upgrade from one
release to another (the next) will be more difficult.

Also if server was incorrectly shutdown parity syncronization requires
extra time while boot.

Is RAIDframe driver stable enough for production server (for custom
partition like /var/flow and system partitions as for /usr, /var
except /)? Or it's better just to use backup of root partition (using
cron + /altroot mechanism) and something like rsync to another local
harddisk for netflow logs?

If I use small amount of binary packets (like netflow-tools, pfflowd,
postgresql client) and backup root partition and custom data as
mention above will be reinstall system from scratch simple?

So, what's better - to have base system partially on RAID or only for
custom data or not to use RAID at all?
