Thanks for the info. But my issue is that I do not have a RAID Controller. I was looking at
using the raid features built into the kernes. I have been playing with 2.4.18 and raidtools2.
Thanks

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...

1 the drives in pairs. One pair for the / and the second pair for /var
only. But everything I have read to date says you cannot do this.
