Re: [CentOS] Raid with one disk?

Is it possible to set up a single disk raid (kind of redundant to call a single disk an array) but I've got a single SATA drive in the machine not doing anything. It's a 10k maxtor 74G drive, and what I really want is just to backup two home partitions. I can always reinstall the OS, but the data can't be recovered that easily. The mobo supports raid-0,1 and jbod. Suggestions?

Don't think of it as RAID, think of it as backup. Do some scripting with rsync or use a package like amanda, and perform backups of your home partitions to the raptor drive.
