I didn't know LVM did stripping. I'm wondering now what the performance difference might be if any. thanks, scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm wondering about the size of the initial installation partition. I generally make /boot about 200Meg. Do you think that would be enough for a minimal or should I go bigger? thanks much, scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I'll try setting up the disks as you suggest, then run the install. I did manage to get the raid10 module loaded during the install, but the option for RAID-10 would not show up in the installer. I'll try creating the RAID-10 array after loading the module also. I'm getting the feeling here already that this is probably something I ought not to mess with. This is going to be a production machine, so I may end up with a RAID-1 for /boot and /, then run RAID-10 for shared data. I suppose that would be a reasonable solution. I've got some time to mess with it for a while and I'll post back the results. thanks, scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

install Etch with raid level 10
I tried to install Etch on AMD64 using raid level 10. After I partitioned the drives, I went to create the md devices and could only choose from raid levels 0,1 or 5. Should I be able to install with level 10? I tried the latest netinst.iso and the cdrom install disk 1 with the same results. thanks, scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
