Speaking of raidframe, it's a kernel level interface
(like ccd), so you'll have to recompile the kernel
anyway. If you're going to do that, move up to the
latest... 1.5.2 has lots of things that are desireable
over 1.3. 

I wasn't aware that ccd did mirrors. I thought I read
somewhere to the contrary...

I have a few questions about raidframe from a non
engineer type to anyone that can answer. If I mirror a
disk, does it become a full and true mirror? Does it
mirror the boot code and all? Can I use the mirror to
boot off of? Also, is there any provision to have it
do parallel vs. sequential writes or is this not
applicable?

I can hear the RTFM's in the distance already...

Andy
