[04:36] Put another way: IS there a way to raid1 the first 512k of your hdd's in linux through mdadm/raidtools??? [04:39] raid 1 is *2 drives* [04:40] 3 drives is not raid 1 [04:40] >3 drives is not raid 1 [04:40] why not? [04:41] that's wrong actually [04:41] >2 drives is not raid 1 [04:41] there, fixed it [04:42] lcdd: because raid 1 is a mirror, ie 1 to 1 copy to a second drive, a third drive doesn't fit into that equation [04:44] *sigh please google that statement mralphabet. http://www.peg.com/techpapers/monographs/raid/raid.html [04:45] anyways, for simplicities sake, lets just say I have 2 drives [04:45] how could I do this? [04:47] use mdadm [04:48] One can configure RAID 1 to have more than one duplicate (e.g. "triple mirroring") copy of each disk. [04:48] my bad [04:49] win 15 [04:50] Everytime a drive dies, I should not have to install grub into the MBR. The MBR is part of the Hard disk, therefore the Raid software should handle it!

[04:54] but i don't know for sure whether that will affect booting [04:54] do you have a link?
