Thanks. The portability bonus is a big one. Just two other questions I think.
- Raid1 entirely in dom0?
that's what I do. I make one big md0 in the dom0, then partition that out with lvm.
- Will RE type HDs be bad or good in this circumstance? I buy RE types
but have recently become aware of the possibility where TLER (Time-Limited Error Recovery) can be an issue when run outside of a Raid, e.g. alone on desktop machine.
generally speaking the re or enterprise drives are all I use in production (all of production is software raid'd.) otherwise, even though you have a mirror, if one drive fails in a certain way (happened to me twice before I switched to 'enterprise' drives) the entire box hangs waiting on that one bad drive.
