[HECnet] A2RTR downtime

[John Yaldwyn]

Good luck with the dasd migration Bob,

I have used RAID with Centos but I used an IBM ServeRaid controller that was supported by Centos so the effort required no work on my part other than assembling the necessary parts and updating the controller firmware.

Cheers, John

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.
