Uh, that did not quite parse. Let me throw statements into the darkness. hda does not looked mirrored. md0 looks mirrored, possibly from hdc and hdd or some such. If you lose the hda disk then you will have to recover it by backup or reinstall or whatever. /home being on md0, assuming you mean a mirrored filesystem. If a disk fails there then the system will keep running. Using a tool like mdadm it can notify you by mail that a disk has failed and you can back fill the bad drive later. Assuming that you recreate a system on hda and reattach your secondary filesystem md0 onto it after a restoration then yes you would have your /home back onto your system again. Bob
