It is advisable to put everything on at least a RAID-1 as it improves your chances to survive disk failures. In any case, make sure you have working backups of your data. -- Debian testing amd64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
