Message-ID: <ir536c$9jv$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)
Hello,
I use software raid (mdadm). The main problem for me is that when the
drive with the MBR fails, it can become a problem to boot.
When the bios would use another drive to boot when the first drive
failes, this problem would be gone. But I don't know rackservers who do
that. Do you?
Or is there maybe some kind of fake-raid card what uses mdadm to solve
this problem?
Another way would be to use e.g. an USB device to boot to solve this
problem. Any experiences with that?
(hmm, I realize that netboot is an option too).
With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
