Hi all. I'm new in the list, this is my third message :) First at all, I need to say sorry if my english is not perfect. I speak spanish. I post here because gentoo-user-es it's middle dead, and it's a great chance to practice my english :) Now, the problem. I'm going to get a new PC with a disc SSD 120GB and another HDD of 1TB. But in a coming future, I want to add 2 or more disks SSD. Mi idea now, is: Disk HHD: /dev/sda /dev/sda1 26GB /dev/sda2 90GB /dev/sda3 904GB Disk SSD: /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 26GB /dev/sdb2 90GB /dev/sdb3 4GB And use /dev/sdb3 as swap. (I will add more with another SSD in future) /dev/sda3 mounted in /home/user/data (to save data unused) And a RAID 1 with: md0: sda1+sdb1 / md1: sda2+sdb2 /home (sda1 and sda2 will be made with the flag: write-mostly. This is useful for disks slower). In a future, I'm going to add more SSD's on this RAID. My idea is the fastest I/O. Now. My problem/question is: Following the gentoo's doc, it says I need to put the flag --metadata=0.9 on the RAID. My question is ¿This will make get off the performance?. I only found this document. This says the difference, but nothing about performance and advantages/disadvantages. Another question is, ¿GRUB2 still unsupporting metadata 1.2? In case that metadata get off performance, and GRUB2 doesn't support this. ¿Anyone knows how can I fix this to use metadata 1.2? I don't partitioned more, because I saw this unnecessary. I just need to separate /home in case I need to format the system. But if I need to separate /boot to make it work, I don't have problems doing that. But of course, /boot also as RAID... ¿Somebody have any ideas to make it work? Thank you all. Bytes! ;)
