Afair raid 5 would "eat up" the disk you buy, i. e. you get so much disk space as (number_of_disks - 1) * diskspace, provided that the disks are all the same size. So if you get another 1 TB disk, you get two times the diskspace for the price of one disk, sort of, but you don't get any more disk space than you already have, sort of :) So it's up to you to think through the available options, including the potential use of LVM and hardware raid controllers, and to decide which one suits your needs best. In any case, it should be possible to install on a raid 1. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
