    I'm looking into RAID, and as such I started to read the suse manual and the
    raid howto on the web. I still have some questions that someone on this list
    can answer.

    1) Is it possible to add a soft raid after installation? The system I want to
    extend with raid (raid 1) is already up and running on single disk system (it
    has 2 disks).

    2) How does one enable hardware raid. The motherboard has an onboard hardware
    raid controller. The controller does not really seem to be supported by
    linux (Promise 378). Anyway, I ask this out of interest ;) In case of
    hardware should it be done via the bios or completely different?
