[...] Could someone please verify that kernel oopses occur when one drive on a Promise FT-133 fails? If that was true, then the chance of a system failure would be doubled by the raid instead of being reduced, right? Therefore, a single IDE disk would be more failsafe than a promise raid. I can hardly believe that (well, on the other hand - it's Promise...). Thanks, Hans
