AFAICT, yes. I use software RAID0 on my laptop, previously with XFS, now with reiserfs. No ill effects to be reported. Are you meaning to use something like RAID1 with the USB/1394 disks? RAID0 seems kind of pointless to me in that configuration, because the bandwidth of the USB2.0/1394 bus will really be your limiting factor with any typical hard disk today. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
