I have set up RAID-1 mirrors on Fedora Core 2 using the software RAID support and there is no limit to the number of filesystems on a given disk that can be RAID-1 mirrored. For example you can have /boot, /, /var and /home all mirrored on the same disk with each having its own ext-3 partition. One would hope that MacOS X's RAID implementation would be at least as capable. Jack _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

On Linux, are you doing this using LVM? I know LVM lets you set up mirrors on a logical volume-by-volume basis, which is what allows multiple filesystems to be independently mirrored. To do the equivalent on Mac OS X would require Apple (or a third party) to port the open-source LVM package to Darwin. I would personally LOVE to see LVM on Mac OS X, at least as an option for the server OS, as it would bring much of the flexibility in filesystem and disk management that other UNIXes enjoy to the platform.
