Trouble is, six of my seven drives (the seventh being an optical drive) are joined into two RAID arrays: a two-drive RAID-1 array of fast storage for programs and the OS and so forth, and a four-drive RAID-6 array of slower bulk storage for everything else - and owing to a misunderstanding when I designed the layout, /var is on the latter, even though it and its exact contents are apparently necessary for system operation. I could at the furthest extreme cut things down to one drive from the RAID-1 array and two from the RAID-6, but I'd be hesitant to do that, since I've had data-loss and array-loss scares before; the latter took 3-to-9 months and over $5000 to recover from. That said, I'd be less concerned about booting to removable media with *all* of the drives disconnected, and that might achieve the same end. That goes on my list of things to try next time I do a swap-out for testing. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
