Hi Paul, |

I am not quite sure about using so called "hw raid". I used to have |
| 4 |
Silicon Image on my last mb and hw raid was only "bios raid" - when |
| 5 |
switched to raid0, kernel still saw two seperate discs. I was quite |
| 6 |
confused that time but sw-raid is very good option as I see today. |

|

I'm using daemon "mdadm", it's very simple (without LVM). You need to |
| 9 |
compile into kernel Promise PDC20378 driver and RAID support plus |
| 10 |
drivers for your hw. |

Have a look on this : |
