Nothing special. Just a /etc/raidtab like so: # /var/video (RAID 0) raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 32 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hda1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc1 raid-disk 1 >Is it possible to add another drive to the RAID0 later to increase the speed >later? I have the feeling the 2 will be enough for now, but... I don't know. I think this is where lvm come in handy, but I've never done it. But, since your data isn't important, you shouldn't have to worry about losing it and creating a new array if something goes wrong
