Oops. I meant raid 1. Raid 0 is for making bigger, faster volumes that are more susceptable to failure than is a single drive. It is good for, say, editing video where speed is important and if a disk dies you can still load your footage from video tape. Raid 0 is also good in composition with other raid modes. For example a raid 0 of two raid 1 arrays, totaling 4 disks for example, is fast and can survive the death of any single disk. -kb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
