It won't work in the usual way because md needs to store some extra information which generally isn't going to have any place to go in that partition unless the ext3 fs was created not using the whole partition. I seem to remember you can put the data somewhere else, but that isn't the normal way to do things and could easily cause problems. Also if he is really talking raid 0 (and not linear) then striping is going to be a problem. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
