But if you can create volumes containing a single disk, and export those to the OS then that is IMHO a better way to go since you are able to take advantage of cache and (if you have it) a battery backup. A lot of raid cards allow you to do this. Some do not. The next best thing is creating mirror volumes that can be exported to the OS. Costly but quite redundant. -D
