Hi, |
| 13 |
The only way to use RAID in your case (that i know of) is to have a |
| 14 |
separate /boot partition (could also be as RAID1). |
| 15 |
Swap is better outside RAID (but on both disks as failsafe measure). |
| 16 |
IIRC in your case the RAID is already installed, you could get a third |
| 17 |
small disk (or resize existing RAID,if possible at all - no experience). |
| 18 |
"nvraid" is a software raid which depends on BIOS settings and |
| 19 |
(frequently) a Win-driver to operate. |
| 20 |
Read the articles on www.gentoo-wiki.com (Gentoo with NVRAID using |
| 21 |
dmraid). Using RAID0 with nv2 and separate /boot partition. |
| 22 |
As i have null RAID experience (just theory) someone else, here. |
