[plug] setting up a mirror

[Jon Miller]

Now that really sucks, I guess I could use Novell's SUSE Linux and see how that goes.  From what I can see it appears that you have to partition one drive then partition the other drive to match the first.  Especially if using SATA drives.
I'll see how the SUSE Linux handles this.

Thanks for the input.

It sounds like you need to load the appropriate driver for the disk 
controller, because it's only seeing the actual physical disks and not 
the logical RAID drive.

Unless the driver comes as source (which would probably mean it'd be in 
the kernel already and you wouldn't have this problem), you might be out 
of luck on Debian as most only release drivers for Red Hat based Linux 
most of the time...
