Hi
AFAIK its a bad idea
to put slave IDE devices into a software RAID set. Firstly it will upset
performance and secondly there's a good chance that if you lost one of the disks
on that channel then it would take out the other also. (ie loose the Primary
master and the Primary slave goes too. So even if the Primary slave wasn't
physically bad you'd still end up doing recovery on both
arrays)
I have 2 X 2 channel
PATA cards and tried putting slave devices on and I had problems even getting
the OS to see the drives properly to create the RAID set. Got timeouts etc
trying to bring a RAID5 set online. I now have 4 disks on these 2 controllers in
RAID5 all on the masters and a RAID1 set for my OS on the motherboard IDE
masters.
I guess there's no
harm in trying, YMMV but I think even the RAID howto it advises against
it.
Cheers
Paul
