soft raid under linux (red hat 9)
ive been able to get ata harware raid configurations working on hpt controllers, but i've had it with promise. maybe i'll give 3ware a try, but in the meantime, i was thinking about giving soft raid a try (especially after reading somewhere that hardware ata raid was more like a bios assisted soft raid).
i want to set up mirrored drives (raid 1) so i know /boot and / should be fine, but i know you can't/shouldn't raid the /swap so i guess have the kernel distribute the swap between drives.
is anyone running softraid that can offer any advice/suggestions/links (the how-to is a little weak)? if this works well, i'll eventually pursue converting a system to softraid
