Why do you want to avoid the md raid partition? It doesn't hurt you at all.

actually it does when combined with hardware raid..you are doubling the processing that has to be done..first by the cpu and then by the card cpu..no need to take the performance hit.

No, that's not true. The linux RAID layer has essentially nothing to do when a RAID1 set is in 'degraded mode', as it is when you have a single disk or an external RAID set.

mdm still sits in the background polling for a recovery...i'm not going to allow that(that's the winders way of doing things honestly)..So i'll retry with the no raid install mode..<G>
