Hi all
I'm looking at setting up software RAID 10, using CentOS 5.1 x64 - what
is the best way todo this?
I'm reading some sources on the internet, and get a lot of different
"suggestions"
1 suggestion says to boot up with a Live CD like Knoppix or
SystemRescueCD, setup the RAID 10 partitions, and then install Linux
from there.
2. Another is to setup a small RAID 1 on the first 2 HDD's, install
Linux, bootup, and then setup the rest as RAID 10
The others didn't really make sense to me, so how do I
actually do this?
And then, how do I setup the partitioning? Do I setup /boot on a
separate RAID "partition"? If so, what happens if I want to
replace the 1st 2 HDD's with bigger ones?
What's the hardware setup?

I didn't really specify any, cause I want to keep it purely software.
Generally it would be on a generic PIV motherboard with 4 / 6 SATA, or
even mixed SATA & IDE HDD's - all new, so at least 80GB per HDD
