<div>Apparently David its a company called southern light, they
have committed to bring fibre to hsv in the next year initially
just for businesses but allowing local ISPs to tap their fibre
line to provide faster service to homes. They are hinting at
100gb for businesses and 1gb for homes potentially.<br>

I'm thinking about putting all the computers on the
network disk array, including the SOC's: beaglebone
blacks, arduino mega256, and the RPi2. I would not mind
doing the compiles (and maybe even the booting!) on the
hard drives instead of the limited-life SD cards and
'flash' that are on the SOC's. Any of you guys done
that? Everything in the house is 1Gb Ethernet. If only
I could get that to the outside world <heavy

Already have the BBB's booting of the SD card, which
you have to do with the rev B's and their 2 Gb size..<br>

<div>I agree. I had to go through
hell with a Debian mdadm system to
install the boot loader on both
drives. I know this is a problem
with a few software raid solutions.<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Anyone know if this has been
fixed in any OS +
Filesystem/Software Raid? One of
the things that killed me was if the
bootloader was corrupted on one
disk, or the disk was partially
corrupted or something, in a
software raid scenario, the bios has
to know to move to the next disk,
but when does that ever happen?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>This was a big failing with
software raid. I am sure it could
be hacked around by placing the
bootloader somewhere else...or
something.<br>

Again, this isn't a problem with the software
RAID, but just how Linux works. mdadm doesn't
know anything about the MBR since it's not in a
partition. Instead you configure the bootloader
to install itself on the MBR of both drives.
IIRC some installers (Debian maybe?) offered to
do this for you.</div>
