The Google gig? I'll believe it when I see it, but we can dream.<br>

I would sincerely LOVE to get rid of an ISP, regardless of
bandwidth. <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

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>

There was an itsy-bitsy blurb about it on Debian's site but
there were no details given and, doing Yet Another Fresh
Install (copyright), I could not find it in any of the auto
OR manual disk setups. <sigh> This was less than a
month ago.<br>

Software Linux raid is fine with the
striping but it sucks at mirroring.
The second (mirror) drive is NOT
identical in any shape form or
fashion. Even the partitions are
different. And it is not bootable!!!
In mirroring, I want immediate
fail-over, or at most, one shutdown,
remove/replace drive, then back up
right where I was.<br>

Thanks,<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>
