    MD RAID and Remote Drives

    Right now I'm RAIDing two 2TB drives in RAID10offset2. Need to add some drives and maybe I'll remote them using NAS (GB ethernet), for fire and theft protection.

    So could the BIOS actually boot this if 2 drives are in the machine and 2 are in the garage? Is there a way to specify in mdadm that the two in the garage are mirrored from the two in the system?

    What if I use the mobo's e-SATA port to add 5 external drives locally. This would require a port multiplier. I presume it would not be bootable, since a port multiplier needs OS support? So I'd need an individual boot drive to get things up?

    What is the most advanced and efficient RAID level? RAID6? Is it safe?

    Are you using software linux raid, or the onboard raid controller (fake-raid)?

    Can you not just create a script to mount those 2 drives in the garage and copy over like that, or use rsync?
