[lug] 5 Jan installfest.

[Adams, Scott (FGWA-CO)]

My intent is to get more 300g hard drives as money becomes available. I
have 4 9gig drives but I want the larger size. Would it be better to
learn on the 9gig drives and then repeat the whole process when I get
atleast one more 300 or to put the 300 in now and get the redundancy
when I can add the other drives? In otherwords can I set up the RAID
with only 1 drive in?

If you are only looking for a learning exercise, RAIDing partitions on a
single disk would be a good starting point.
