Thanks, Allan Hi, The only way to use RAID in your case (that i know of) is to have a separate /boot partition (could also be as RAID1). Swap is better outside RAID (but on both disks as failsafe measure). IIRC in your case the RAID is already installed, you could get a third small disk (or resize existing RAID,if possible at all - no experience). nvraid is a software raid which depends on BIOS settings and (frequently) a Win-driver to operate. Read the articles on www.gentoo-wiki.com (Gentoo with NVRAID using dmraid). Using RAID0 with nv2 and separate /boot partition. As i have null RAID experience (just theory) someone else, here.

Re: [gentoo-user] Should I give up gentoo ?
gentoo is vast. I've been at it for nearly two years and I still only grok a tiny fraction of it. Get ubuntu, breezy is the version I'm familiar with, and do a generic install. Let it choose kernel config, module config, fstab etc. Then you can compare and contrast and your linux enlightenment will surely grow :) --- Allan Spagnol Comar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi list, I had ask for some help with instaling nvraid with dmraid on a gentoo system yesterday and no one could or wanted to help me.
