My (highly limited) experience of RAID has been entirely negative - and that's with out apparently using it :o On two occasions now, I've tried to do what I thought was a perfectly normal update on debian based systems which has resulted in something called mdadm being upgraded, at which point it seems the entire filesystem gets hosed :( My policy these days is to make removal of mdadm the very first thing I do after an install to a new machine. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
