Switching to MD from ataraid, I'd advise to just let the kernel see two
drives and forget about ataraid if you
want to go to MD. Ataraid devices are scary and currently do not properly flush hd write caches before shutdown/reboot. They should be avoided unless you have a multiboot system with windows and want to be able to use the drives on the ataraid while running linux. Thanks for the detailed answer. So on a single Linux box, with no other OS, md really is the better choice over ataraid. Will I be able to just disable the raid array, see
two (identical) drives and set up md raid?
thanks
Dave
