I have recently purchased a 1TB drive to use as the mirror image, with the intent that the 2nd 500GB on this drive will be used for other purposes, like maybe testing a new installation when it comes out, or just having extra data that I don't need on the mirror image partition. I have installed the 1TB drive and hooked it up. It is not yet partitioned.
Some bios raid solutions don't allow mixed drive sizes. Some of them mirror the whole drive and are unaware what OS is actually installed. Others are fake raid and require drivers. But most of them require matched drives. Software raid does not. Better check what your bios allows. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
