Hi all
I'm looking at setting up software RAID 10, using CentOS 5.1 x64 - what is the best way todo this?
I'm reading some sources on the internet, and get a lot of different "suggestions"
1 suggestion says to boot up with a Live CD like Knoppix or SystemRescueCD, setup the RAID 10 partitions, and then install Linux from there. 2. Another is to setup a small RAID 1 on the first 2 HDD's, install Linux, bootup, and then setup the rest as RAID 10
The others didn't really make sense to me, so how do I actually do this?
And then, how do I setup the partitioning? Do I setup /boot on a separate RAID "partition"? If so, what happens if I want to replace the 1st 2 HDD's with bigger ones?
What's the hardware setup?

I didn't really specify any, cause I want to keep it purely software. Generally it would be on a generic PIV motherboard with 4 / 6 SATA, or even mixed SATA & IDE HDD's - all new, so at least 80GB per HDD
