If one disk has filesystem corruption, then the RAID subsystem will duplicate the corruption on its mirror disk. If one of the RAIDed disks fails, then you still have the data on the other disk. Please remember that RAID is not intended to protect you from data corruption, but from hardware failure. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
