I currently have an ASUS K8V Deluxe system with an 80GB SATA drive. It |
2 |
used to have a old 10GB PATA disk for M$ dual boot. That disk died and |
3 |
was interfering with boot, so it's in the trash. |

|

The dead disk reminded me of the pain I will suffer if I loose my linux |
6 |
system. Even with backups of my home dir, which I'm not as good about as |
7 |
I should be, a full fresh install would be a pain. Thus, I am |
8 |
considering Raid. |

Does anyone have experience with RAID on this Board? |
11 |
Is the Via or Promise controller better for this? |
12 |
Is there a good Howto on migrating from a non Raid disk to Raid? I |
13 |
recall seeing one but can't find it now. |
14 |
Am I wasting time and money? Should I just do a better job of backup? Is |
15 |
there a resource on what to backup to allow a fast regeneration (or |
16 |
duplication) of an existing gentoo system? |
17 |

Finally, thanks for the great distribution. I use a commercial distro at |
19 |
work and I am much happier with Gentoo. :) |
