and what's that when it moves from the sales brochure into the real
world?
also: Promise FastTrak - you can install RH onto one of these with
RAID1 by not configuring the Fasttrak RAID, install RH onto hde, build
a kernel with FastTrak support, then go into the Promise BIOS -
configure it for RAID1 and choose the "copy from one disk to the
other" option.
However, imo, FastTrak really sucks... no, sorry, it's worse than just
sucking - it corrupts data (linux driver probably). much better off
just using linux md RAID1. (and install grub onto the boot sectors of
both disks - i guess).
