I've been following this thread as I research using software RAID1 on a
production system
I haven't read the new HOWTO yet (i plan to sometime today if i get time)
but I dont think i understand the concept of bootable, root RAID1 so far.
What I got so far is you have a small bootable partition wh
is hardware RAID recovery largely superior to software raid?
i.e. a recovery from a bad disk in a raid1 configuration means an
automatic switch to the good disk and the removal of the bad disk from the
array, until a new disk is re-inserted, and at that time, hardware raid
taking steps to re-mirr

Is there any chance of getting the software raid and/or root raid howto
updated for whatever the current features of the MD device driver is?
I'm thinking of using raid1 on a bootable drive (/, /usr, /var, /home
partitions) and the documents mention some pitfalls, which may have been
fixed in the
I run 5 linux boxes and 2 NT servers on a network. All servers have 9G
scsi drives in them. Currently we back up the most important data to DDS3
tape..about 11G. We would like a better solution to this for full
redundancy. We thought about putting another 9G in each server and doing
software raid
