The mdadm tools will build arrays out of partitions, so you can divide up your disks to cover all the bases. For example, if you only have two physical drives, you could create a RAID-1 array using /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdc1 (making /dev/md0) and install the root filesystem on it. You would then create a RAID-0 using /dev/hda2 and /dev/hdc2 (making /dev/md1) for the recordings. LILO will install and boot on RAID-1 as long as there is only two disks. Now if either drive dies, all you lose is the recordings. -- "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." - Sinclair Lewis (1935) _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
