I've been asked to install CentOS on a machine with 4 hard disks, they want RAID 5 on it. 3 disks plus the hot spare. My understanding is that you cannot boot from disks that are in the RAID array but would need it's own disk?
I'm asking here because I know many of you are using CentOS. Any tried booting from a USB pendrive in lieu of a boot disk? How about swap, that cannot be on a RAID partition either, right? Appreciate follow-ups in private so not to disrupt the list too much :) Regards Nigel -- www.myoldcontacts.com - Tell your friends to tell their friends www.sysadmininc.com - Consultancy, Service, Sales, Networking... www.british-expats.com - Connect with British Expats World Wide www.kxez.com/shows_britishinvasion.php - 9-11pm Sunday.
