(apt-get install mdadm will work if you run Debian) Second: # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --chunk=X --level=0 --raid-disks=2 /dev/disk1 /dev/disk2 The chunksize is an integer parameter that set how wide the stripes are - playing with this value can change performance a lot, so definately do some benchmarking! *HOWEVER* - I wonder if you're not asking for a disaster. RAID0 has no provision of reliability. ie, if one of those disks starts having problems, you've lost all your data. I would be very reluctant to use RAID0 as permanent storage for any of my music - there's too much risk. Let me agree with other posters that it's probably overkill, especially considering the data loss potential. I do my GNU/Linux recording work to a partition that's actually a mirrored RAID1 pair (slower than a single disk) and I've never had problems. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A Pope has a Water Cannon.
