Hi All,
after my failed hardware RAID attemtps on Asus RS100-E4/P12, it was
recommended to me to try the software RAID1 from the Nuonce BQ  installer
CD, which I have and it seems to work though I don't understand all the messages yet.

Is there a way to upgrade and existing BQ server that was created on a
single drive to be a RAID1 system? Assuming I can scrape up and identical
second drive to put in it.

Also how do you deal with a failed drive? Do you simply down the system,
swap out the failed drive and it will boot/rebuild, or are there utilities
to be run first?

- Ernie.
