Hi all, I am about to re-build one of my boxes with CentOS 4.4 I would like to set it up as a simple mirrored system. The box is a 1U server and has 3 SCSI drive bays. I can use 1 drive as the OS drive and the other 2 for the content (basically websites) or can just use 2 drives and mirror those. What would you folks recommend? Thanks Dale

You'll have better fail-over protection if you use 2 drives with all partitions mirrored. You'll have to decide which is more important. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
