hi ya tim
more software raid howto's of different raid options
http://www.1U-Raid5.net
- are you trying to convert an existing system to raid ??
- are you trying to make root-raid ?? vs just data
root-raid allows you to keep booting/working even if one disk
goes on vacation
raid for data only ... ( my preference ) just to protect
data from disk crashes ...
system disk is on another disk than data
( system disks can be rebuilt in a few minutes from scratch
- for starters use the raidtools2 set from debian on deb boxes
- keep in mind, that even if you have raid, you still need/want
a backup system in case the raid system decides to mis-behave
and/or you lost 2 of your 3-5 disks for raid5
