I'm about to set up two ATA-100 hard drives as a RAID-0 array. An ATA-66 drive will remain in the system. I'd prefer booting from whichever was fastest, and assume this would be the RAID array.
Is there a disadvantage/impediment to booting from a RAID array (other than possible loss of data - there's nothing on any of these drives I can't afford to lose, so it would be a PITA but not a disaster), or is there a different reason why Vinum doesn't support root?
Jud
