To: isp@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm about to set up a machine with a RAID-capable host adapter. (Probably an entry-level DPT.) The intent is to use simple mirroring to increase reliability. This is my first RAID system; and I'm a bit unclear on some of the low-level details. In particular, is it safe to mirror the root partition; or could that lead to problems during booting?
