The primary limitation is probably the rotational speed of the disks and
how fast you can rip data off the drives. For instance, the big IBM
drives (20 - 40 gigs) have a limitation of about 27mbs for both the 7200
and 10k rpm models. The Drives to come will have to make trade-offs
between dens

Hmmm. I've seen this statement many times and must assume it is
only partly true. It is very difficult to follow this rule with root
mounted raid. I have changed the partition type many times on many
systems from

No, I really mean ftp.bizsystems.net -- the dot com server has not
been updated and will be phased out at some point.

Hello. I have recently started using the raidtools-0.90 package with RH
6.1 (2.2.12-20 kernel). So far, I am only using RAID level 1, using two
identical IDE drives. I have been able to successfully configure my
RAID devices. However, I have some questions regarding the correct way
to recover
well, everything seems to be well prepared with your raid-1 array - I had
the same problem weeks ago - i think you will have to apply the raid-kernel
patch ( matching 2.2.14 can be found at http://people.redhat.com/mingo/ )
before making your raid-arry wirth mkraid...
