Re: Software RAID question

[Alvin Oga <aoga@Maggie.Linux-Consulting.com>]

hi ya

booting into raid1 or raid0 for / should be fine...


for scsi disks... you'd need to make sure the kernel
supports your controller... ( use initrd )
	am assuming ( md0 ) /  contains /boot and everything
	needed for single user mode

if it was ide ...
	/dev/md0  == /dev/hda1  /dev/hdd1
	/dev/md1  == /dev/hdc1  /dev/hdb1

	you should use md0 as mirror so you can
	boot off hda  or hdd...

	and use md0 stripped to md1

for scsi... life's simpler...
