I haven't used raid on an audio box ... but for many of our servers we
are using mirrored raids (RAID1) for the system disks. For what it's
worth and without saying anything about whether or not this is
appropriate for your situation, attached is the cheat sheet I use to
remind myself of what I need to do when setting these up.
but the mdadm debian package mentioned in this thread might make my
notes obsolete. :)

Hello,
While I know this is specfically an audio group, I'm thinking this is
still related, but I apologize if it is too far off topic.
I was wondering if anyone here has setup an IDE raid, either via hardware
or software. I ask because I know it usually would speed up disk access
which is good for realtime audio work (I had to work on a scsi system with
a layla for a customer of mine). I was looking at doing a striped raid
with 2 80 gigs (or maybe 2 120s).
I tried to setup a striping (then later a mirror) on my other machine
running slack 8.0 but had absolutely no luck whatsoever. Neither the
hardware on my motherboard (HPT370 on abit VP6) or just a simple software
raid worked. I will probably be using the same board for audio recording
unless someone has a better suggestion (looking at asus).
So, if anyone can give me any recommendations or hints/tips I would be
quite happy. :)
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
