With any type of raid, any level? I can understand this working with a mirror set: the kernel can load from any one side. But what about level 5, for instance? There is no single driver from which to load the kernel, you have to read from the three in the precise order.
With initrd, it shouldn't matter. The initrd ramdisk is small and loaded first, but probably should be on the first disk, since you have to specify a partition. That's why I never liked software RAID. Further, with an LVM, if you lose the first drive, then(from my understanding), you can't get any data off the other drives. That's why I don't use it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
