EIDE RAID controller in RAID 1 config. Boot HDD has multiple partitions?
When I install the EIDE controller card in RAID 1, will I be able to mirror all 3 partitions on the boot HDD? If not, will I be able to select which partition is mirrored? I am using a Netcell S5000 chipset sold through XFX Force.
It doesn’t matter how many partitions a RAID 1 disk has. The mirroring includes ALL partitions. Important is that both disks must be of the same size and type.
The only thing you have to pay attention is, a RAID 1 will only work if both disks are either master or slave. For example, primary channel master drive and secondary channel master drive can form a mirror array; primary channel slave drive and secondary channel slave drive can form a mirror array, but primary channel master drive and primary channel slave drive cannot form a mirror array.
