Here's a couple more Slackware RAID1 tidbits:

I'm building another RAID1 array right now on Slackware 9.1 using the
"Lange Method" :-)

1. I omitted "chunk-size" from /etc/raidtab, and got an error message. I
had to add it before I could proceed. I suppose that answers my own "is
chnk-size really necessary for RAID1" question. I went for size=4.

2. I am trying to create 5 devices (/dev/md0 to /dev/md4). The /dev/
directory (the one on the install CD I suppose it must be) only has 4 md
devices (0 to 3). I tried creating an extra /dev/md4, but couldn't make
it happen. An installed system has 16 possible md devices.
