Software RAID

[Mark Rennebaum]

Speaking of RAID...

I'm about to get my hands on a copy of that O'Reilly
book "Managing RAID on Linux" - is this a good book or ?

Been fighting a problem for a couple of days now and I'm
not any closer to solving it (IDE-RAID/Promise controller
with SuSE 7.3 and Win XP)...

Thanks,

- Mark
