How to use Software RAID under Linux. It addresses a specific

version of the Software RAID layer, namely the 0.90 RAID layer made

by Ingo Molnar and others. This is the RAID layer that will be
|
|
standard in Linux-2.4, and it is the version that is also used by
|
|
Linux-2.2 kernels shipped from some vendors. The 0.90 RAID support
|
|
is available as patches to Linux-2.0 and Linux-2.2, and is by many

considered far more stable that the older RAID support already in

those kernels. </Para>

RPM is the RPM Package Manager. It is an open packaging
|
|
system available for anyone to use. It allows users to take source
|
|
code for new software and package it into source and binary form such
|
|
that binaries can be easily installed and tracked and source can be
|
|
rebuilt easily. It also maintains a database of all packages and their
|
|
files that can be used for verifying packages and querying for
|
|
information about files and/or packages. </Para>
