Re: Can't boot from /dev/md0 (RAID-1)

my system has 4 disks, but /dev/md0 is a RAID1 for /boot. (/dev/md1 is a
RAID5 and LVM is on top of it...) anyhow, this is what works for me.
i've even pulled out a disk and it still boots.

btw, you really don't want to put two drives on an IDE controller. not
just for performance reasons -- if a master drive fails it can easily
prevent access to the slave... so you'll have a two disk failure on your
hands. or maybe this is just urban legend and i'm spreading it further ;)
