dont count on it, if your kernel is on the / partition(in most cases it is) then it won't load(how can it access the raid when it needs a driver but the driver is on the raid :/ ) best bet is to setup a stand alone drive and run it as your / partition, when i first setup my raid(raid0) my / drive was using only 6mb of hd space. it needs to be a read/write media for stuff like /etc so i wouldnt reccomend something like a cdrom to boot from and mount as /. but if the system is real stable you could copy the 6MB or so to a cdrom and have it copy all the data to a ramdisk and use that as / ..butr that would take some configuration..dont think it would be worth the trouble. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 3:58pm up 95 days, 3:35, 1 user, load average: 1.81, 1.71, 1.48
