I wish I would have known earlier. I had tried the create trick before and it worked fine so I figured that was all I needed to do. This RAID stuff may be too involved for what I need. It is only about 2TB of data. I may just split it up between two 2TB hard disks and leave it be. So I guess that opens this up to a question. What would everyone suggest I do. Should I try the software RAID again? Should I go with a hardware controller? Or should I just have two independent disks? Right now I have 5 750GB disks that were part of the RAID 5. I can of course reuse those in whatever solution I go with. My thinking this morning is to setup a 2nd server with the 5 750GB disks and leave that as a software RAID. Then I would purchase 2 2TB disks for my current server and just use them as-is. Throughput is a concern though. I currently was getting 50MB/sec over the network. This was okay but I really wanted to get that up to 75MB/sec or more.
