Anyone tried this before?

Also I think another reason you may wish to take into consideration is the fact that Windows XP only allows 10 concurrent connections over File Sharing and Printing. With a windows X server I believe there is no limitation or if there is it is much greater then 10 concurrent connections. As your network grows you may run into the problem. Just a thought....

iv done this and have a mirror setup. its fine and i wouuld recommend it to anyone

I wonder if you ever thought of using a 4-bay SATA drive firewire device to house 4-500GB HDD's to do you're backups via Acronis True Image with? This way you have a full backup of your 9-250GB HDD's data if it should go "kaplooey". Also Seagate drives come with 5 year warranties for their equipment, you may want to reconsider your drive choices as most companies can't say their drives will hold up beyond 1-3 years at most, Seagate stands behind theirs for 5.

hello

I use also this hack for a raid-1 xp system with 2 x 250go ide disks for my data.

I converted the disks in dynamic volumes and created the mirror successfully

my problem is that the dynamic volumes are not mounting at the startup

I have to manually launch the disk managment tool

and then dynamic volumes are activated and I can use my raid-1....

anyone has ever seen this before ?

is there a solution to automount my dynamic raid-1 volumes at startup ?

thanx for your time !

Wouldn't a .cmd autostarting do?

Something that issues a MOUNTVOL command with appropriate parameters?

However it seems like a problem in the Mountmgr database, i.e. MountedDevices in HKLM\SYSTEM\ MountedDevices that are not kept between reboots:

Another possibility is some kind of problem related to dmio.sys, like it happened with win2k with mount points:
