Nice to know. (I think I'm going to stick with ext4 for now). (BTRFS later...) I have 2 identical 2T seagate drives. The main purpose is to run an php and apache server and use kde (kiosk) to display network status using jffnms (graphical) and postgresql-9. Raid 1 Mirroring for most if not all partitions. Think of it as a station where everyone can view the network conditions, as users, but I remote admin the system. No logins except via the limited kiosk to just view/query the network, or a remote connection to the server. These Docs I listed are dated? Gentoo.wiki.com is finally back up. These 2 docs reference each other.... http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Software_RAID_Install and http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/RAID/Software Which one is more accurate or the best one to mostly follow? (that's what I'm trying to figure out now.) I do appreciate any and all feedback. James Which guide do you think is better, for my needs?
