I think you may have some problems booting off of a soft RAID...but what do I know...I only deal with the hardware ones. ...but my question to you: why on earth would you want to build a RAID out of 2 IDE drives? If you're going to build a RAID, I would suggest using SCSI instead (and more than 2 drives...hell, the more the merrier...you can get decent deals on 9 gig SCSI nowadays and a hardware RAID controller helps too...these things are so difficult aren't they?). It will be more expensive, but you'll be much more satisfied in the end. If I was building a RAID (for personal use) I would rather a few measly old Ultra Narrow or Wide drives than two ATA/66 drives (or even ATA/100) Not that I'm not drooling over FibreChannel... Anyway, I'm not here to spend your money, just figured I'd make a suggestion regarding something that I have a tiny speck of knowledge on. - Kremer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Larson" <wyatt at coolsend.com> To: <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2001 8:40 PM Subject: [TCLUG] Software raid. > I been pondering creating a software raid with two maxtor 30GB ATA/66 HDDs I have.
