Thanks to everyone that responded. I've learned a lot. Let me say what I know now and where I still have questions. (1) 'how to boot,' I'll experiment with some of everyone's ideas tomorrow. Again, though, my system has a SCSI disk which is booted from; there is one big RAID-1 filesystem on t

Hi all, Well I'm a new convert to software RAID on Linux. The system I'm presently using is a P-150 with Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller, single SCSI hard disk which is the boot drive, and a new pair of Western Digital Caviar 20.5 GB IDE drives (hda and hdc) acting as software RAID. This is all on
