Any comments on the performance > hit -- is raid1L a really bad idea for some reason? You can of cause construct a traditional raid-1+0 in Linux as you describe here, but this is different from linux raid10 (with its different layout possibilities). And constructing two grub/lilos on two disks for a raid1 on /boot seems to be the right way for a reasonably secured system. best regards keld - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
