I've been wondering about this too. I went to Evan's Freaking-Awesome-Amazing presentation on RAID/LVM over at UVSC, and a lot of things finally make sense now, but I still don't know how to go about setting up a machine like Greg wants. I know that you can set the two disks up in RAID 1, then use LVM for nifty partitioning, but as that setup only exists in software, is there a way to mount / (root) or /boot on there? And what about the swap partition? I know there's just some underlying principles that I'm not seeing. -- Topher Fischer GnuPG Fingerprint: 3597 1B8D C7A5 C5AF 2E19 EFF5 2FC3 BE99 D123 6674 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
