Is this really necessary, I tested a 7.3 install and each drive worked on it's own easily when I tried to simulate a drive failure. With 8.0 it doesn't look like it will do that for some reason, I can still mount the second HD but cannot boot off of it. Can anyone on the list that was a software RAID 1 scheme similar to mine ( /dev/md0 = / ) confirm that their system will boot off either drive? thanks.. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
