Call on God, but row away from the rocks.
If you need to connect lots of drives, software raid can use the maximum
number of drives ports that your motherboard has ie 6 drives. You could

I purposely buy PCI-Express HBAs (host-bus adapters) instead of full blown
raid cards for use with software raid systems. They're a lot cheaper than
reliable hardware raid cards ($100s vs $1000s) and are a lot more reliable
than any cheap fake-raid (raid-in-driver) card. I've even downgraded the

There's a partition type Linux RAID for a reason !

That's because Linux software RAID is partition based,
I'm digging back up my old post (below), to ask a pretty easy question:
How about using software raid1 instead of my convoluted efforts below?
Is performance okay enough for Rivendell to operate seamlessly with it?
The longer version:

Hi,
Along with rsync you could create a shell script to dump the MySQL database
from system and save it to the secondary disc. In case you need it you'll
have to import it only.
And if the replicated disc is also the system disc, make sure to have grub
properly installed, so system can boot from

Again, THANK EVERYONE. This list truly is a blessing. I would be so
lost without all of your help.
Got pulled off working on Rivendell for a bit, but the quick research I
did suggested doing a dd of a live file system is NOT a good idea, and I
don't know why I didn't think of that before.
