Yeah, I can understand that. I use software raid-1 for /boot, software raid-0 for (a) directories I consider "owned" by package management, so that reinstalling from fast net or local mirror solves that problem and (b) "throw-away" data like /var/tmp, and hardware raid-5/6 (depending on # of drives) for real data like /home, /srv, /var, etc. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss03@volumehost.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/
