I would advice to use software RAID instead. As pointed out before, that requires the extra effort of maintaining a separate partition for boot, but that effort is rather low, a few hundred MB out of your 6 TB are sufficient. The disadvantage of hardware raid is that it will make all your data unusable, if your hardware develops a defect. In case of software raid, you could move your disks, ie. data to a different machine with a different motherboard for recovery or continued use. I was bitten once by that, when our dedicated raid controller went havoc. Of course YMMV, and all of this will depend on your over all situation... (Time available for recovery, importance of data etc.) Cheers, -- Johannes Three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Burma, Liberia, and the United States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si_units -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
