===== Original Message From James.Rocks@equant.com ===== Hi,
I have just inherited a dual PIII/500 with a number of SCSI discs and I hope to build a machine with 3 x 4Gb & 1 x 9Gb drives. I have to have one of the 4Gb as ID 0 (because it is in a removable drive caddy and the 8Gb wont fit) but the rest don't matter overmuch and I have played around with SuSE 8.0 on it. SuSE can create a RAID on it (though as yet I haven't tried with a mix of 4 & 9Gb drives) but if I try to create a single raid I can't create a boot partition, if I create a boot partition I end up with boot, whatever's left on ID0 and then the rest as RAID.
So what I was after was some advice ... how would you set it up?

I have 2 ide drives 1 - 30 gig and the other 40 gig. each one is set up as the primary drive on each of the controllers. I set it up for raid 1. /boot needs to be set up on a non raid partition and try installing 1- swap disk on each disk. the rest of the file systems can be set up on raid partitions. I did this with a fresh install of use 8.0. I also have windows 98 on the first drive and freebsd on the second drive. My amd k63d 450 runs much faster now good luck harry a
