Raid 0, multiple partitions 1

[seanbo]

if i have two identical disks running on raid 0, then partition my new drive to make two logical drives, will each physical drive be partition exactly the same (preserving the disk striping)?

Yes the drives should be partitioned the same if the were the same size to begin with. But, be aware a raid 0 is not a real raid and has no fault tolerance. So if one drive dies all the data is lost.

what does 1101001100110101 mean to you? is it just random? does d335 mean something to you? it's too big to be a couple of regular ascii characters. perhaps 54,069 is your favourite number.

lol yea its just random 10101010101 i put in when i signed up

do i have to be careful about how big the partitions are? i assume i'm limited to whole sectors on each surface, so should the partition size be divisable by number_of_surfaces * sector size?

the size should matter as long as all the drives are the same size just use the max
