I am in the process of upgrading my P120 server to a more modern PII. I want to have a RAID setup because i am pretty paranoid about data loss and setup time. Yes I do have backups of everything, but I want to avoid downtime if possible. I would like a RAID 1 setup of two ATA 100 hard disks. My questions are: 1 - Can I do this with software? I have read sections 12 and 13 but I am still a bit confused if I can back up the entire disk? That is, if one fails will it boot with the other? I would like to mirror everything, including the OS. 2 - If I need a card what card would you recommend? Price is the main concern, performance is not, I just want security. Also a two channel is suffice. Thanks very much, any info appreciated. -- ____________________________________________ Alvaro Gil http://www.AlvaroGil.com '84 Volvo 242 Turbo (Silver) 15 psi '97 Leopard Gecko (White, Yellow, Black) NJIT Mechanical Engineering Student ____________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
