Re: [PLUG] Linux Raid

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

Hold up.  I'm considering buying a DFI AD73 mo'bo' with RAID.  The specs 
are here: http://sj.dfi.com.tw/product/fetch.asp?theValue=AD73%20RAID

If the built-in controller is RAID enabled, how is that software-based RAID?

With these controllers, is it possible to partition the larger drive so 
that is can stripe with a smaller drive while still allowing access to 
the remaining space on the larger drive?
