Hi James,
For my part I would like to test RAID-1 on my B180 (2 of 9Gb).
Could you let me know more on the RAID configuration you implemented?
Do you have a special slice (partition) for your F0 (parisc bootloader)
and may be also for /boot?
Do you apply 'persistent-superblock 1' to allow auto detection at boot time?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Joel
PS: may be a simple copy of your /etc/raidtab would be the simple answer
to all my question :) ?
