10 (one-zero) == a mirror of two stripped arrays. You can lose up to two drives, so long as they are both from the same strip set. As I understand it though, I thought that /boot could only exist on RAID 1 vanilla. -- Digimer E-Mail: digi...@alteeve.com Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
