For better performance I would suggest you use that instead of a separate osata controller. > system on sda, connected to first onboard-SATA port I would suggest you put a little (say 10 GB in total of your big disks) for your system, in a raid setup - to provide against crashes. Also put your swap on raid to prevent crashes if a single disk breaks down. more on: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Preventing_against_a_failing_disk 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
