The apr 1 info, may be the key parameter. I remember reading snippets |

in several locations.... but nothing to recall now. I did not |

really focus on the issue at the time, so it is completely |

Still, an interesting idea, some would think. I have taken |
15 |
the path of setting up raid under Ubuntu, as suggested to me |
16 |
by a few old gentoers. While visiting the Ubuntu offerings, |
17 |
it surprises me to see so many (gentoo) familiar folks bouncing |
18 |
around and using Ubuntu, for a wide variety of purposes. |
19 |
Quite a lively and social bunch over there at Ubuntu, many |
20 |
old friends..... |

Yes you are correct. Also, I did find the Ubuntu installation media |
30 |
(alternate.iso) for explicitly setting up RAID, as part of the |
31 |
native Ubuntu installation docs and media. |
32 |
|
33 |
Furthermore, Ubuntu on arm boards; documents intended for the rank and |
34 |
file users; very cool indeed. |
35 |
|
36 |
I'm still looking for equivalents in Gentoo; maybe after grub-2 |
37 |
is stable on gentoo, we can get a singular document and matching |
38 |
installation media for installing RAID from scratch..... |
39 |
|
40 |
Also note,native ARM support for netbooks, laptop and lite-workstations |
41 |
is coming to many linux distros. I just hope Gentoo leads |
42 |
rather than follows in that regard. Surely the talent |
43 |
is in the dev_pool to make it work, it's the documentation |
44 |
that is the real challenge, imho. |
