I bought two identical drives and plan to set up a RAID 1 array this time. If anybody has set up a software RAID on Ubuntu, using the md driver and mdadm, for the system drive and you have advice, let me know. Espcially if you managed to make both of the drives bootable.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>Bob<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote></body></html>
