I think I should maybe google a bit before asking things like that. http://linux.yyz.us/why-software-raid.html shows me some good insight and any other comments on hardware vs kernel RAID appreciated. My choice is to use or not use the few Adaptec 2940U2W Raid controleers I have. _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
