Re: [PLUG] organizing files on software Raid (SCSI)

You can boot from a software RAID1 mirror, not a software RAID0 or 5. The

though I am not sure when I would use a RADI0 partition -- maybe for /tmp...

Excellent. This is our second most critical machine (email server), so we are setting it up for software RAID1. The database server will use hardware RAID5.


Thanks,
