that's the theory. your caveats are noteworthy tho; I've been bitten by them, and that's one of the reasons I don't like software RAID. with a 3ware controller, there's no worry about the bootability of whichever drive is left in the array. > For a permanent replacement, there is no need to wait for anything. we consider it good policy to wait for the drives to sync, and do a test reboot, before leaving the customer premises. the reboot is important, as it often shows up problems you didn't notice, or put off until 'after this next command'. > You can use the machine normally while the sync happens and it > takes care of itself when finished. yep. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
