[Centos] RAID 1 sync

[Peter Farrow]

Often some BIOSes detect the geometry of the drives differently if they 
are split between primary and secondary controllers.

Having paired drives on a single controller is fine,  the interface is 
faster than the drives anyway, and the geometry problem hardly ever 
occurs...

Software RAID on Linux works extremely well, unlike software RAID M$ 
Windoze...which hogs resources...
