I'm considering buying 2 17gb IDE drives & doing a 32gb software RAID 0
with them. This will be lots cheaper than SCSI (which I've been sticking
too).
Has anybody done this ?
(I've read through the docs a bit, no need to feed me URLs)
Probably my biggest question is, am I going to have to split this up into
multiple partitions ? I had my 9gb drive as 1 partition.. I really prefer
to not have to deal with running out of space on one partition when I have
lots free on another. Just where is this 2gb problem ? I think fdisk
said lilo & DOS fdisk couldn't deal over 2gb.. so I just create a small
boot partition, and put everything else on one ? (except swap, of course)
Oh, and can I put a swap file on a RAID array ? I haven't been able to
find anything on that either way.
