I know this is possible, but the RAID system in use must support that, so any RAID metadata must be located where it doesn't interfere with the FAT file system (e.g. in files on it, or the file system is smaller than the partition) and no additional layer (like LVM) can exist. -- kind regards Marco Send spam to [email protected]
