Partitioning Mirrored drives Bad?
I read a while back that partitioning a Mirrored drive setup is not good practice and can lead to the RAID array being unstable. Is this correct? I am thinking of partitioning my 2x160gig RAID1 setup. Thanks Heeter |

Re: Partitioning Mirrored drives Bad?
you just need to make sure that both disks have identical partitions. A hardware RAID controller does that for you though

Thanks Guys,
It is a Hardware Mirror, setup. Both 160 giggers are hooked up to a PromiseTX2000 PCI Raid card. Thanks again. Heeter |
