That's not /completely/ true: $ cat /etc/fstab /dev/md1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/sdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/md2 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/md0 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 $ But, the point well taken in the general RAID case... Also, you clearly don't want *anything* but files that you don't care about losing on RAID-0. If all of your disks are in a RAID-0, booting is only the first problem needing a solution. -- David N.
