RAID easy?



Im suing RAID now, but i fear if it went tits up I would have NO idea how to rebuild it.

How is the RAID support in fedora, and which version should I use? Is there a certain chipset I should get or stay away from?

Whats a strategy for easy repair if a drive fails, and will both drives be exactly the same, or will I have to not RAID the boot sector?


Its been a while and a drive has died (but not a raid one), its time I come up to date from RH9...I may actually get my linux box a new MB instead of a hand-me-down this time.

Is there by chance a raid newsgroup or a better place to ask this question?
