Andrew,

May we please cool this down. I read your earlier post a few times, 
Andrew, before I realised that you probably did appreciate that RAID on 
the same drive did not achieve the usual RAID objective, and that it was 
an experimentation/leaning excercise. I think Rick probably did the 
same, but may not have appreciated your objective. Rick's response may 
have been a little severe, but in my opinion your response has made 
things worse. Yes, you are both knowledgeable. Yes you both know what 
RAID is about. Please may we discuss not <put your own term here>.

I was interested in this thread because a week ago I first dipped a toe 
into RAID myself by configuring up the computer I'm going to use for my 
new broadband connection to use two IDE discs (on separate IDE channels) 
to use software RAID (RAID1) when installing Fedora Core 1. Worked like 
a charm. At least I have some redundancy now. All I have to do is work 
out what to do with my ATAPI CDROM. I don't want to impair performance 
by putting it on one of the existing IDE channels so I bought myself an 
InnoVision (non-RAID) IDE controller. Problem is that the linux drivers 
are for RH 7.3 and these were compiled with gcc 2 and FC1 uses gcc 3 and 
that is the error message I get. I've emailed the support address and am 
waiting to see it anything happens.

Regards

Chris
