I couldn't get it to work without seeing both SATA drives as individual drives. What I did instead was to use a 3Ware card to mirror the drives. I'm just not a big fan of SW raid, so I go hardware when I can. So far, all I have is the basic CentOS installed, this is my first time using CentOS since RH 7.3 days. HTH Mark
