This kind of brings up another question, if I create a raid 5 with 3 or 4 disk and have my system only one 1 disk, and that one disk blows up. Will it be easy to replace that disk and see the raid5/lvm/selinux files? Or should I take the caution and put my system in a raid 1 too. thx On Wed, 9 Mar 2005 07:16:56 -0600, Justin Conover <justin.conover@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I might not have to move the box after all, so I can put this test off > for now.
