In any case, I just realized it's not only initramdisk that has to to understand and use software raid, but even before that there's grub (or lilo.. anybody out there still use lilo nodays?).. I suppose even legacy grub can boot from raid partition otherwise, CentOS4's grub would not even boot. But as already many on this list say it's better to have even boot and swap on raid, then I'll try that way. I hope that will give me two drives partitioned in exactly the same way. This would be to me the greatest gain over my solution. Thank you very much to you all for your help. Best regards. Robi
