Pentium 200MMX, controller ata33, 2 HD samsung 6 Gb, Redhat 9b
I would want to configure a RAID 1 (mirroring)
At the moment, i created this partitions:

hda1 e hdc1 110Mb -> md0 -> /boot
hda2 e hdc2 256Mb -> md1 -> swap
hda3 e hdc3 5,9Gb -> md2 -> /

Therefore i did made the mirror also of the partitions swap and /boot.
it is corrected?
Have you suggestions about partitioning?

I have also an old promise fasttrak ultra ata 33 card;
do you suggest me of utilize this card instead the raid software?

sorry for my bad english

thanks
