RE: Installing Debian on a RAIDed partition
Ghane,
I suggest using a Hardware RAID. I use ARCOIDE raid 1 controller
(www.arcoide.com) on a couple of my machines. It's really easy to use and
it's fast. In fact when I started using this product my hard drive usage
actually visibly lowered (don't ask me why.) They are supposed to be a
couple ATA-66 controllers on the market that are actually FASTER than UW
SCSI drives, but I have yet to find one.
At all cost avoid promise controllers. I was using one of these in a NT
machine and it corrupted data without warning for 2 weeks. During those two
weeks my backups also contained corrupted data (monthly, weekly, and daily.)
When the system finally crashed from data corruption I was left without a
backup. Luckily I was able to restore most of the data using my keen skills
:)
I'm also using RAID controllers from cru (www.cruinc.com), and Adaptec. I
like the Arco controllers the best.

Subject: Installing Debain on a RAIDed partition
Folks,
I would like to install my / partition on a mirrored (RAID 1) partition. I
know how to do RAID _after_ an install, for user data, but at install time?
Any pointers?
Thanks
