Thanks for the responses Ronny, Marc and Alvin

Since I missed the obvious (actually didn't recognize it for what it was 
in my scanning) I've been off doing more research and reading.

Actually what it boils down to is that I don't really want RAID1.  The 
main reason is that all I wanted in the first place was a quick clone 
facility and additionally a IDE master-slave RAID1 set is not a very 
good idea.  On my PM G5 I've got 2 internal 250GB HDs as a RAID1 set for 
my working volume, but they are not in a master-slave relationship.  I 
also clone daily to alternating external 250GB HDs.

Anyway I'm reconfiguring without including hdb and will clone to it 
using g4l.  Less often I'll also create a system image to bootable 
DVD(s) using Mondo.

Thanks for showing me what I was missing,
Lee C
